RecreationOff-Road and ATV
R Wild Horse Ranch has become one of Northern California's premier destinations for off-road recreation. With 900 acres stretched across miles of trails, owners have room to roam in every direction. Whether you're behind the wheel of a side-by-side, on a dirt bike, or cruising on a quad, there's always somewhere new to explore.

Terrain for All Experience Levels
4-Wheel Drive
Miles of networked access roads wind through the property, giving 4WD enthusiasts the freedom to explore the ranch at their own pace. Days can be spent covering new ground, taking in the landscape, and experiencing the ranch from angles most people never see on foot.
Quads and ATVs
The fastest growing activity at the ranch. Quads are manageable for just about any rider and give families a way to cover serious ground together. Designated riding areas keep ATV traffic organized and ensure the experience is enjoyable for everyone on the property.
Dirt Bikes
For riders who love the feel of a dirt trail under two wheels, the ranch has dedicated riding areas positioned far enough from the cabin and family areas that noise stays contained -- keeping the trails fun for riders and the rest of the ranch peaceful for everyone else.
Mountain Bikes
No motor needed. Take your mountain bike out on 10,000 acres of backcountry terrain and see how far you can go.
RecreationHorseback Riding
As an owner of R Wild Horse Ranch, horseback riding is included in your annual ownership, and that means more than just access to the trails. You own the horses. You own the tack, the saddles, the riding gear, and the hay. The ranch maintains a herd of over 40 horses, cared for and ready to ride year-round. No boarding fees. No vet bills. No overhead.
From gentle beginner paths to advanced backcountry routes, the horse trails at R Wild Horse Ranch covers 4,000 dedicated riding acres with something for every level of rider. One of the most beloved rides on the property is the trail to Beegum Creek Camp, a ride through open land that ends at one of the most scenic spots on the ranch. Advanced riders with personal horses can explore an additional 10,000 acres of backcountry terrain beyond the main trail system.
