It's a great time , we camp and ride there a couple times a year. It's fairly small 75 miles of trails but they are expanding.

I am game for mines and meadows as well, as long as a 1000 is welcome.
We were with the Choog Brothers. You guys led an excellent ride.

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed. If you ever go to RRB again let me know. I'm just an hour and 45 minutes from there.

I’m near Cincinnati.. I’ve been wanting to do more riding. I’ve heard of riding area near Latham, Ohio and Wayne forest but Don’t know details
I am about 1;45 minutes north of cincy on 75. We generally go to KY and TN to ride. I have not been to Wayne and not heard of Latham. I know wayne has width restrictions but they are supposedly working to widen trails. A couple close places for you would be Wildcat, East Bernstadt KY and Dirty Turtle, Bedford KY.

Wayne National Forest is a Federal Area broken up into 3 trail heads across SE Ohio. 50" limit. You need the machine to be registered with State Tags (license plate) and buy a riding permit (1 day,3 day, 7 day , annual) We typically ride near Nelsonville Trail Head (Monday Creek). its been awhile since I've been down to Ironton trail head (Hanging Rock). They are usually groomed during winter and get rougher over the summer into fall. It's good riding for the day or camp near by. Also has trail areas good for kids to learn the ropes. Wayne National Forest - ATV
Perry is where we do most of our riding. It's state owned out side New Lexington, probably about 30 miles of trails maintained by a volunteer crew. It's a 62" limit but have seen bigger there. They add more trails as they go. All that is needed there is the machine to be registered with the state (license plate), no daily permit. It's pretty good riding for the day mud holes, rocks just about everything. There is a camp ground with access to trails also.
We should meet up sometime, we're about due to hit Hanging Rock. That's probably not to far from you?
I have rode Wayne a lot, Both the Pine Creek trails and the Nelsonville trails. Pine creek is less groomed and more technical riding. Nothing crazy but more challenging than Nelsonville. We quit going to Pine Creek because our trucks kept getting broken into. The parking is secluded and the trails are not used that much. Guess that gives the locals time to help themselves to anything they want. Nelsonville is well groomed and well traveled. There is camping at New Straightsville. Right up the road is Perry State Forest. Free to ride and better trails. There is a campsite there as well.

The “Latham” place is probably referring to Pike State Forest APV Area. It’s located between Sinking Spring and Latham. State owned. Free. 62” width restriction. Only requirement is a state ATV tag. It’s a pretty nice little place to ride. And usually not very crowded at all. The only drawback is that you can pretty much ride the whole thing in a couple of hours. It’s only 20 minutes from my house so I usually go there several times a year. Closed from the start of deer gun season until sometime in April so I believe it is open. I have not made it over there yet this year.

@Derail I think I have rode at this place. We stayed at a campground like 1/2 away out in the middle of nowhere. They had a big lake and waterslide with gocarts and everything. I remember trails being nice but on the smaller side and a airplane had crashed there ( I thought). That's about 2 hrs 20 min from me.
That would be “Long’s Retreat” resort/ campground. It’s privately owned. It is right down the road from the State owned atv riding area. And yes there was a plane crash there.
“In the middle of nowhere” ha ha. Thats a good description of this area and part of the reason I love it so much

Yup, that would be me for one, just to the right of the tree. Running order was changed so many times during that ride I’m not sure who actually was behind me at that time to pull me off the stump but many thanks.

I'm pretty sure Mines and Meadows doesn't have any width restrictions. I've seen a Yami and 4 seat rzr's there. That said it would be worth the phone call to ask before making the drive. I went once last year and once this year. I kind of like it for a day trip. If I was going for a multi-day ride though, I'd definitely head to Hatfield McCoy instead. Just one man's opinion.

Oh, i can ride there. I was refering to a 1000 with a group of 500’s. I did jump into your threads.I'm pretty sure Mines and Meadows doesn't have any width restrictions.

If you wanted to join with a unicycle I'd be game. Sure, I'd laugh and rib you for it, but I'd do that if you had my exact machine with the same mods too. All part of the fun.
