Other things to note Please be advised that there are no public or private lands anywhere in Brewster County that allow the operation of off-road vehicles without the owner’s express permission. ALL the land outside of the parks and wildlife management areas is either private or restricted. NONE of the public, private, or restricted land allows the operation of ANY vehicles off of the existing roads. DRIVING, RIDING, OR WALKING ALONG DIRT ROADS: The Big Bend Region is crisscrossed by thousands of miles of dirt roads. Most of the dirt roads are private and do not allow any use without permission of the owners. Others are open for use only to land-owners and invited guests. As our guests, we are authorized to grant you access to the vacation rental properties via the roads and driveways marked on the driving directions that we provide. While the use of many ungated roads in the area is generally accepted if you are on foot or in a street legal vehicle, we do not have legal standing to grant you such access. Please be advised that if you use other dirt roads, you may be trespassing and may be confronted by land owners, watchful neighbors, or law enforcement. Use of other dirt roads is at your own risk and is not expressly allowed or forbidden by the vacation rental owner or by Big Bend Vacation Rentals. Under NO circumstances should you pass through an open or closed gate without the express permission of the property owner. RESPECTING LOCAL RESIDENTS AND LANDOWNERS: The Terlingua area is a haven for tourists. It is also the home and refuge of many residents or landowners that miss the days before the Big Bend area attracted so many people. The vast majority of land outside of the public parks and designated wildlife management areas is privately owned and restricted from public use of any type. Some private property is fenced, marked with no trespassing signs, or with purple-painted posts (the legal equivalent of no trespassing signs). However, even if the land is not fenced or marked, it should be assumed to be private. Entering private property for any reason will likely result in a confrontation with the property owner, a watchful neighbor, or law enforcement. Fortunately, most of the best land out here is inside Big Bend National Park and Big Bend Ranch State Park. Those lands are set aside for your recreational use and enjoyment. Please do not wander onto adjoining properties or approach any homes, buildings, or campsites that are not obviously public parks or places of businesses. Please drive as respectfully as you would in a neighborhood with children, because that is what this is.
