Public Offroad Trails in OH, KY, and IN

The Ohio Valley region is a hot bead for all things outdoors. Off-roading is no exception. Every year hundreds of thousands of offroaders take their four by fours, bikes, and other ATVs to the trails for a day of blazing the paths. Lots of offroaders are content with visiting the same trails and parks every weekend, but others would love to find a new place to throw into the mix. Occasionally you just need to flex on a new trail with more challenges, other times it is just nice to have a change of scenery. In an effort to assistother off-roaders in Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio, I searched the internet and personal knowledge to put together a full list of public off-roading sites. This list is intended to be a guide to letting enthusiasts discover parks and trails that they otherwise would not have heard of. Parks from the states Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio have all been included in the list. There are several parks in Kentucky, and I have attempted to include them all. The information I have included is as up to date as I can ensure it, but I would advise you to call ahead to make sure all information is correct.
