Barnett Ranch Preserve

The 728-acre Barnett Ranch Preserve near Ramona, California, is dog-friendly and has 4 miles of multi-use trails, including a 2.5-mile loop for walking, running, biking, and equestrian riding. Because there is no water source other than a horse trough at the start of the trek, bring plenty of water. Keep an eye out for wildlife, such as coyotes and the possibility of seeing mountain lions. Because this is a high-risk wildfire area, be careful what you bring to your picnic; no candles or glass. On the hiking trails, there are no trash cans. Every day, from sunrise to sunset, pedestrian access is accessible. Petzooie must be kept on a leash at all times.
