As of 3/8/25 - Sydney Dover Conservation Park is now re-open to the public.
Trail Closure: The short section of Blue trail between the two parking areas at 475 N Dover Rd and 535 N Dover Rd, is currently closed due to trail damage.
This conservation park features a popular 7.5-mile equestrian trail, located east of Brandon, and is high and dry most of the year. The trail has changes in contour because of its history as a reclaimed phosphate mine. The trailhead has plenty of space for horse trailers, plus an informational kiosk and trail map. Please note, we do not provide horseback riding rentals; you must bring your own horse.
The trail is located at 535 N. Dover Rd. Take Hwy. 60 to N. Dover Road and turn north. Continue approximately ½ mile to parking area on the east side of the road.
