Highlights
Outing Highlights
1,850 acres of diverse trail riding
The property’s extensive trail network spans varied topography and offers sustained off‑road riding across a large private tract — ideal for short bursts of technical trail work or longer exploratory runs within a four‑hour window.
Half‑day rentals for focused exploration
The experience is configured as a four‑hour rental, giving riders a fixed window to cover the property without committing to a full day; select your vehicle and reserve online in advance to secure your slot.
More than riding — nature and fishing opportunities
Beyond riding, the property supports activities such as hiking, biking and fishing on site, letting riders pair trail time with shoreline breaks or short hikes into quieter pockets of the area.
What the day feels like
What Four Hours on Barnwell Feels Like
A timed rental from Gilmer Off‑Road Rentals compresses exploration into an energetic half‑day: vehicle pick‑up and orientation, a planned loop through the property’s trail network, and stops for photos, shade or a quick fish — all within a four‑hour cadence that encourages decisive navigation and repeated laps rather than a slow, daylong roam.
