History

Oak Knoll Stables is on an old (150 years) 40 acre farm established by early settlers. The area is quite hilly and was heavily populated in the first part of this century. The current population is sparse since much of the land was overworked and cannot now support the same level of farming. On the other hand, much of the area has been reforested and is home to the Ganaraska Forest, a 15,000 acre provincial government forestry dedicated to preserving trees and providing a variety of recreation options for users – hiking, snowmobiling, trail riding, hunting, etc.

The farm property is bounded on the east by a small creek which intersects with the start of the Ganaraska River on the south property line. Some old growth forest is still in place near the south end of the property.

In 1995 the farm was bought by the present owners who have made extensive improvements to the property culminating in the building of an 8,000 square foot state of the art horse stable and extensive paddocking in 2005.
