Green Ridge State Forest Off-Road Trail exit 62 off of I-68 in Maryland. Trail consists of an 18 mile loop at about a 1,000-1500 ft elevation... It was pretty cool :excited:

Very cool, I've been there!

Where do you live? If you go again, let me know, maybe I can head out there too.

Did you only take the eastern ridge portion of the road? Or did you also take the valley portion?

I don't think it's changed much, but I went as a stock vehicle - similar to yours. It's a really good stock-passable trail... although I think the valley can have some decently slick muddy hills.

Nice job. Glad you got it dirty, but be careful...IT IS ADDICTIVE.
I hate to advocate weird chemicals, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone...but
they've always worked for me.

I wish I had trails like that around my area. Most of the offroading done in my area is mud and sand. :thumleft:

I live in SW DC. Idk I went like 3/4 of the way down the road that comes off of I-68 and entered the trail there and went all the way around back to the north... It was a lot of fun.
