Trails Closed Due To Heavy Rain
Due to recent heavy rains and muddy conditions, all trails are currently closed to vehicles. Please refrain from scheduling feed or hay deliveries while the trails remain wet. Each year, we see a few drivers attempt to navigate the conditions, only to get stuck—leading to significant delays and the need for costly recovery efforts.
If you’re unsure about the condition of your specific trail, please reach out to Jeff Hinkle at 949-425-1477 for an inspection and evaluation. Thank you for your cooperation in preserving our trails.

Trails are Closed to Vehicles Due to Muddy Conditions Until Further Notice
Trails are currently closed to all vehicles due to recent heavy rains and muddy conditions. Please do not schedule feed or hay deliveries while the trails are wet. Every year we get one or two drivers who think they can beat the odds and it turns into an ordeal to offload and wait for the trails to dry enough to send out a rescue. If you are not sure about your specific trail condition, please contact Jeff Hinkle at 949-425-1477 and he will inspect and evaluate.
