Whitewater Equestrian Center is a guided trail ride and gem mining experience located in Western North Carolina, nestled in a natural North American rain forest. We offer a 4-mile guided horse trail ride that takes you through the wilderness, where you'll learn about local Native American history and see breathtaking views of South Carolina and Georgia. Our horses are mild-mannered and gentle, making it a smooth and comfortable ride for riders of all levels. After the ride, you can pan for gems and minerals in our excavation area. Our trails are open year-round, and we welcome visitors of all ages to come and enjoy this unique experience.
