As for a gate up top it would be taken down. The snowmobile clubs tried to block entry to the snowmobile trails off Liberty Hill rd and their attempts where met with a torch to all the gates.
Now you see why they are not welcome in this area, a simple sign should be enough but unfortunately it's not.
So our gate will be at the end of the road forcing a turn around. This way the gate will be in sight of two houses and hopefully will not be destroyed by those who insist on trespassing in private land. Also the use of a video camera is being considered in case the gate is tampered with.
Unless something has changed, as soon as you leave Liberty Hill road in any direction you are on private property and if caught you can be fined. I could be wrong but the last I heard the landowners do not want off road vehicles on their land.

BR,
First let me apologize for every Jeep or any other offroad vehicle out there that's trespassed on your (or other's) private land. There are a lot of people out there that do not care who owns the land and they do not seem to respect the land, in fact some of them really destroy it. I know that one bad apple spoils the bunch, but please do not lump all Jeepers in with all the rest. Keep in mind that these trespassers that tear up the land are also not just Jeepers, but other offroad vehicles, hikers, campers, boaters or anyone outdoors that doesn't respect the land.
That said, there are a lot of us who are responsible people and that do not trespass and only go on authorized trails. By that I mean either public land which is been authorized for offroad use or private land which we've been given permission to use. And we also take care of the land that we use and abide by Tread Lightly guidelines. You should read this page
