Riding areas are open.

The Ohio ATV riding areas should all be open soon. Perry State Forest and the other State Forests should all be open by now and The Wayne should open April 15th. It has been rainy, snowy and cold, although I am sure someone was there to ride opening day. This weekend will probably be a busy time to ride at Wayne, as Friday and Saturday are both looking like 70 degrees or more and sunny. I can't wait to take a trip down there to ride. I just wish that it was not so far away for me although at least for now, gas prices are not the issue that they were last year, when I wanted to go but couldn't. My goal is to at least go riding at the Wayne and at Perry. Only two rides a year is sad, I know, but that would be better than zero, like last summer. Unfortunately, money is an issue more so than it used to be. Well, hope everyone has a great spring, summer and fall of riding, and hopefully soon I will have riding stories to post.

ATV Trails in Ohio MAUMEE STATE FOREST

Maumee State Forest is in the North West corner of Ohio. It is about 15 miles southwest of Toledo. It is about 3100 acres and is flat land.
There is about 5 miles of ATV trail to ride on, ranging from sand to mud. You can hike and ride horses here as well. Snowmobiling is allowed as well. Camping is not permitted. Riding is permitted from 1/2 hour before sunrise until 1/2 hour after sunset. This area is open to riding year round!
When I was there, you could ride in some sandy areas around pine trees. The trails where filled with lots of small jumps, which was not all that much fun on a big 4X4 ATV. Over all, it was a long drive to ride a small trail system.
I'm sure if you have a sport bike or dirt bike it would be a lot more fun. I would probably enjoy it more now on my Scrambler as well.
Sorry, I don't have any pictures.
I would like to hear from people who have ridden here. Just click here and then click on Email.

There is a printable trail map for it here in .pdf form.
