“Tread Lightly.” Ride on established trails only. Do not blaze your own trails; venture into the woods or on to other property not owned by the Ranch.
Do not remove or destroy trees, shrubs, plants or animals. We want them to remain for everyone to enjoy. Tree straps must always be used. If there is a tree down across the trail do not make a new path around it. Please either cut it or winch it out of the way or go get ranch personnel to remove it.
Dogs are allowed but must be on a leash and supervised at all times. NO Rots, Dobermans or Pits allowed. If your dog is aggressive toward people or other animals do not bring it regardless of the breed. If a problem occurs you will/may be asked to leave the Ranch.

The Ranch staff will not make any recoveries after dark. If you are broke down or stuck you will have to wait until the next morning to be recovered. We do not guarantee recoveries. This is a service SMORR will provide if SMORR can and it may include a recovery charge.

Please be courteous of other drivers and Ranch Staff on and off the trails.
The Ranch is neither liable nor responsible for damage, loss, or theft of personal property or injury to visitors.
NO off site firewood allowed! Please either buy some here at the ranch (A bundle of wood is $10) or bring your chain saw to cut the dead timber that is down all over the park due to it being logged before we purchased the land. You may cut anything that is already dead and on the ground outside of the campground area. Do NOT cut any already standing trees down. This rule is so that no outside foreign moths or beetles will infect our growing forest.
Night Wheeling Rule: Trails will be shut down (CLOSED) between Midnight and 7am. You must be back in the campground by Midnight. The gates to the trails will be locked at midnight!! If you have a broken down rig and you’re not going to make the midnight shut down time, leave the rig where it’s at, take all valuables with you, ride back with someone in your group, the rig will be recovered or repaired the next morning. There will be only one reminder of this RULE!! All Ranch Privileges will be revoked after the ONE reminder with no refund for remaining time!
