TRAIL RULES:

Keeping all of our guests safe throughout every outdoor adventure is our priority. The trail map and following rules were designed with that mission in mind, as well as to protect our natural resources and wildlife.

  • User passes for our guests are required at all times on the property. Being on the DMRA property without a proper pass is considered TRESSPASSING.
  • Passes are available for purchase online or in-person at the DMRA Adventure Center. We accept cash and credit cards for in-person purchases.
  • Annual Pass holders will have a sticker issued to them to display on their helmet or vehicle that is visible to Trail Staff. Day Pass holders will have a bracelet issued upon arrival at the Adventure Center or other designated provider.
  • Obey all signs, stay on marked trails, and do not open or remove any gates or barriers. All trails are closed unless marked with a trail post.
  • Jeeps, trucks, cars, dune buggies, homemade vehicles, and Mahindra Roxors are strictly prohibited.
  • Adult supervision is required for anyone under age 18. Anyone under 18 is required to wear a DOT approved helment for OHV vehicles.
  • No alcoholic beverages may be consumed or carried on DMRA property.
  • No littering, camping, fireworks, target shooting, or fires. Please respect our wildlife and nature.
  • Stay alert at all times. We recommend carrying a first aid/survival kit and cell phone, as the weather and trail conditions can quickly change.
  • On multi-use trails, motorized vehicles yield to non-motorized traffic. Hikers yield to bikes, and bikes yield to horseback riders.
  • The property is open from sunrise to sunset.
  • Dress appropriately and plan for changing weather. Blaze orange outerwear is strongly recommended during TWRA Big Game hunting season.
  • For any trail emergency (wrecks, injury, or illness), call 911. DMRA staff are not responsible for helping to remove disabled equipment.

In case of a medical emergency, call 911
