The High Adventure UTV Trail Riding Experience allows guests to travel through 15 miles of Appalachian Mountain foothills across 3,000 acres at the Beretta Shooting Grounds by High Adventure Company at Barnsley Resort. A qualified wilderness guide leads guests on state-of-the-art Yamaha utility vehicles (UTV) through some of the most pristine wildlife habitat in the region.
