Potomac Garrett State Forest(MD)
(301) 334-2038. Beautiful Maryland countryside - several trail systems are open in this state forest. You'll need a DNR sticker. Beware that there are hiking trails on the trail system, so you'll need to pay close attention to the marked riding areas.
Pokomoke State Forest(MD)
3461 Worcester Highway, Snow Hill MD (410) 632-2566. Chandler trail may only be used by motorcycles and four-wheel vehicles and is open year round with access off of Route 113. Not far from Ocean City, MD, the park name is Shad Landing. Sandy soil, mostly flat, and lots of wood trails. Good for beginning riders, it's a fun place to ride for the afternoon. There tends to be alot of water in the area, and some holes can be deep.
George Washington and Jefferson National Forests (VA)
These forest areas are available to ride, and being a member in good standing of the Northern Virginia Trail Riders and/or the Shenandoah ORV association is a big plus. These organizations help keep our right to ride in good standing with the forest service and District Rangers.
Lee Ranger District (VA)
40 miles of motorized OHV trails near Edinburg and Woodstock, VA. Off-Highway vehicles include 4 wheel drive vehicles, motorbikes, and ATV's. Parking area at the north end, off of tower road, and in the Edinburg Gap, where this also a restroom.
Hatfield-McCoy Trail System (WV)
Wild and wonderful WV! A favorite with the ECMS crew, not to mention that it's nationally recognized. Tight, twisting trails abound, combined with friendly locals and true southern hospitality. 500 miles of trails! a must for any trail rider, and worth the trip. |
