Hiking & Trails
Wander with Goats. Reconnect with Nature.
Get outdoors and make some new four-legged friends at Hoof It Goat Treks, a one-of-a-kind outdoor experience in Galena Country. Open year-round, Hoof It invites visitors of all ages to explore scenic forest trails alongside a playful herd of friendly goats. Enjoy an easy-paced, 1.25-mile guided trek through the woods, with plenty of opportunities to interact with the goats, feed them treats, snap photos, and take in the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape. It’s an engaging way for families, couples, and groups to spend time outdoors while experiencing something you won’t find on an everyday hike.

“My son and I absolutely loved Hoof It! It was such an engaging and unique experience, and getting to be outside exploring the woods with the goats made it even better. It was easily one of our favorite things we did together in Galena.” — Kelly D.
