Calling all Boy Scouts! Prepare for an unforgettable adventure at Cedar Island Ranch, beautifully located along the pristine shores of eastern North Carolina. Our ranch offers a unique outdoor experience, where scouts can engage in horseback riding, explore diverse ecosystems, and develop leadership skills in a stunning natural setting.
Horseback Riding and Exploration
Embark on an extraordinary adventure with a horseback ride along the picturesque beaches of Pamlico Sound. Our stables provide an exceptional experience as you traverse the coastline on a well-trained horse, perfect for observing the spectacular shoreline and discovering the wild horses and cattle that freely roam our islands.
The Stables at Cedar Island Ranch deliver more than just horseback rides, they offer a complete beach and wilderness exploration experience. Travel along the shoreline and across miles of unspoiled terrain, where scouts might encounter the majestic Outer Banks Wild Spanish Horses that have freely wandered these areas for centuries. Additionally, our rides offer opportunities to observe a variety of marine wildlife, including dolphins, sea otters, seabirds, free-range cattle, and diverse species of saltwater life.
Our 90-minute rides feature spectacular 1,000-foot water crossings between Cedar Island and Ship Shoal Island, complemented by extensive beach trail riding. Boy Scouts and their leaders will find these horseback riding adventures not only thrilling but also enriching, as they offer a hands-on way to learn about coastal ecology, wildlife conservation, and horsemanship.
