Off-Road Trails in Ohio
6 trails ranging from easy scenic drives to expert-only rock crawling across Ohio.
Hocking Hills Backcountry
Forest roads through Ohio's most dramatic landscape of sandstone cliffs, caves, and waterfalls. The Appalachian foothills create surprisingly rugged terrain with old-growth hemlock groves.
Wayne National Forest
Ohio's only national forest, in the Appalachian foothills of southeastern Ohio. Forest roads and OHV trails cross reclaimed mining land, rocky creeks and steep ridgelines, past sandstone outcrops and strong fall color.
Mohican State Forest
Forest trails through the Clear Fork Gorge, one of Ohio's deepest and most scenic ravines. Towering hemlock and white pine create a cathedral-like canopy over rocky trail sections.
Perry State Forest
Reclaimed coal country trails through southeastern Ohio's regenerating forests. Former mining roads wind through new-growth hardwoods with unique terrain features left by the mining era.
Zaleski State Forest
Gentle forest roads through the rolling Appalachian foothills of southeastern Ohio. Mixed hardwood forest, wildlife corridors, and peaceful backcountry camping along quiet ridgelines.
Salt Fork State Park
Ohio's largest state park with gentle trails through rolling hills and meadows. Lake views, wildflower prairies, and easy terrain make this ideal for beginner overlanding near the I-70 corridor.
