About

Sydney Dover Conservation Park features trails for hikers and equestrians, both trails remain high and dry most of the year, and feature rolling contours because of the site's history as a reclaimed phosphate mine.

The Hiking Trail (red trail) is roughly 4 miles and is best accessed from the highway 60 entrance, located at 4120 E Hwy 60.

The Equestrian Trail (blue 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.

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.

Multiple access points

You can enter Sydney Dover Conservation Park from one of two access points:

  • 4120 E Hwy 60.
  • 535 N. Dover Rd.
