BALLz Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Just curious if any of you guys know of any good Off Road Vehicle trails in Maryland. My wife and I bought a Jeep a few months ago and have been looking online for a good place to take it with little luck. I've found trails in Cumberland that look decent. We purchased an '04 Columbia edition Wrangler(The columbia part just gives us nicer seats and a cool badge on the front quarter panel). There have been no upgrades made to it and we are not experienced trail riders so keep that in mind if you have suggestions. I have no problems getting the vehicle dirty or even muddy but don't really won't to take to a mud hole. Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pez Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Not sure in MD, but GW National Forest in Southwestern va have some really cool jeep trails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helptheSKINS Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Pez is isn't sure because there really isnt any good places in NOVA or MD. At least I've had no luck finding them. Hopefully some others will no of some. GWNF is your best bet. There are some easy trails there but it may not be worth your time to go that far. I take my truck through some "Powerline" trails once in awhile around here. It's not legal so you have to be careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I run off the road every chance I get, and make sure not to clean it off if I get mud on it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bschurm Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Since you live in Dunkirk, I am not sure if this will be worth it to you, but Coca-Cola drive in Hanover, MD is where this pic was taken. The trails are not extensive, but a good two hours of fun can be had. Some parts of this area will not be accesible and there should be plenty of people around if you get stuck.

GrapeApe Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 http://www.dnr.state.md.us/publiclands/orv.html That site lists a couple trails run by the state for off-road vehicles. Seems like plenty of places. You do have to get a sticker to ride on those trails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most trails are in more rural areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosher Ham Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I dont get the thrill. Buy a truck and ride through mud. I get the concept, dont really get why it would be fun or exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i had a better paying job I probably would but can't afford any fines that would be handed out. I've taken it out on a few contruction sites but they have been wide open and fairly flat, so not much fun there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrapeApe Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 It's a macho thing. Just testing your cars capabilities and doing things you didn't think it could do. Being on the verge of instability. It's kind of like the rush you get when riding a roller coaster . Personally I like mountain biking much more. Especially technical mountain biking with difficult climbs and treacherous downhills. I used my Jeep more to get me into areas where I could mountain bike than I did for just off-roading. Unfortunately at my age I don't do either anymore. Now I drive my 4Runner on the road, and my mountain bike has road slicks. My bike paths are now paved instead of littered with tree trunks and streams.

Ghost of Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Take your Jeep to the parking lot of a Church's Chicken. Then take your girl (or boy, if that's your thang) to the backseat to swing an ep'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
