Black Creek Park has nice wide trails some with hills good footing and the bugs aren’t bad. I recommend parking at the Green Rd parking lot, click on the PDF above for a detailed map. It’s large, graveled with not to many visitors unlike the “main” entrance. If you dare there’s a bathroom but it’s not in the best condition. Horses are allowed on most trails accept those with boardwalks. There are signs posted so you don’t get confused.
This is a nice park for a picnic. There are nice open grassy areas for grazing or trees to tie a picket line. I’ve enjoyed many sunny afternoons lazing around in the warm grass watching my boy Goliath gorge himself.
This park is much like Northampton. The trails are wide enough to a horse cart though I have yet to have brought mine up for a drive. Let me know if you have driven in this park before.

I don’t like Black creek park as much as I like Oatka creek park. Black creek is always muddy except in the summer. There are many bridges that are impassable by horses, IE, they are made of plastic that the horses slip on. I have ridden a bit through there, but I feel trapped by the bridges everywhere and you have to turn around instead of making a nice circle to get back. There are some nice trails, just not as nice as Oatka parks.
