I am an Event Planner and I love looking for new and creative activities for my clients. This past week we took the rail bikes to Pudding Creek. What a fun activity and I will definitely be back. They outfitted us with everything, helmets too and we took a 30 minute ride up the tracks. We then were able to take a small hike and then headed back. Such a fun activity for family, clients and anyone that loves the outdoors. I will definitely be back and will go on the longer excursion next time. Thanks for all the hospitality.

I had a nice time in the train. On the first half of the ride I stood in the open car. It was nice to feel the breeze and see the beauty scenery. On the way back we sat down. It was cool that the seat backs could switch positions so we weren’t facing backwards on the ride back. We opened the windows and actually got more of a breeze than when we were standing in the open car. I enjoyed exploring the woods a bit when the train stopped.

We took the Wolf Tree turn… and Malakai was out conductor and we had a fantastic time. The conductor was knowledgeable and entertaining. The train is beautiful and spacious. I highly recommend the trip! Definitely worth the money!

We enjoyed our ride on the Skunk Train! Beautiful scenery. If you have the time, I would recommend making a day if it. Pack a picnic to take with you, get off and explore and hike around when you get to the end, and wait for the next train to get there before you take the ride back. Unfortunately, we didn't have the time to do that though, so we just got the walk round in the immediate vicinity of the train, and couldn't get lost in the woods at all.
