How To Find The Best Off-Road Trails

How to find the best off-road trails? For example, you might be looking for the best off-road parks in America, or plugging "off-road trails California" into Google. Here are a few ways to find the best off-road trails.

  • The internet is your friend. Hit up Google or your search engine of choice, and you're bound to find off-road trails closest to you. Trail user reviews are helpful to gauge the difficulty level and determine if you're up to it or if you need more practice first.
  • Join a local off-roading community or group. These tend to be a tight-knit bunch of people who will always look out for each other, offer friendly advice, and have your back on the trails. We strongly advocate venturing on the trails in a group rather than going it alone, and this is one way to do so.
  • The Jeep brand themselves, as well as other off-road vehicle manufacturers, may organize off-road days or trail bashing sessions, so why not take advantage of them? You will meet a like-minded community, as well as learn helpful hints and tips from the manufacturer.

Where To Go Off-Roading in 2022

So, where can you go off-roading in 2022 and beyond? We've done some legwork on your behalf to help get you started. Here's a list of the most popular off-roading trails in the United States.

Moab, Utah: Moab is one of the most renowned trails and offers something for beginners, intermediates, and experts alike. The rocky landscape provides stunning vistas, and you can even rent an off-roader if yours isn't up to snuff, or if you're just testing the off-road lifestyle before committing to it.

Rubicon Trail, California: It's challenging enough for Jeep to name a trim level, Rubicon, after it. Did you know that it's part of an actual country road in Jamboree, California? It's one heck of a country road, though, so don't think that a front-wheel drive pseudo-SUV can cut it here. You need some serious off-road chops, in terms of the vehicle as well as driver experience. Jeep themselves run events on the Rubicon Trail, so these might be a great way to try it out for the first time.

Johnson Valley, California: The Johnson Valley offers a more sandy landscape and is one of the best trails in Southern California. Once again, there's something for everyone here. Just make sure that you've got the right tires, and by the way, 4 Wheel Parts has plenty of options.

Mojave National Preserve - California: We're now hitting the third-largest national park in the United States for your enjoyment. Yes, California does have quite a few trails. With 16 million acres to enjoy, as well as a restaurant, restrooms, picnic areas, and information center, the Mojave National Preserve is a more family-friendly trail.

Superlift ORV Park - Arkansas: Moving away from California, we are hitting up Arkansas and a privately-owned park called Superlift ORV Park. It's ideal for families as well as off-road enthusiasts and offers cabins, RV and tent areas, shower facilities, and a crawler course for RC cars, so you can bring your Jeep scale model and bash it around too!

Ouray - Colorado: Another family-friendly destination, it's one of the most scenic on our list, situated within the San Juan National Forest, and in close proximity to the Ridgeway State Park. There are hotels, some with an Alpine theme, B&Bs, and rest facilities nearby.

Ocala - Florida: With 607 square miles to explore, including Florida scrubland, over 500 natural lakes and ponds, plus the largest concentration of sand pine in the world, Ocala is another scenic place to trail bash. It's an ideal summer trip destination.

Tips For First Time Off Roaders

Bet you're all eager to hit up the trails after reading our list. Hold your horses! At 4 Wheel Parts, we firmly encourage you to take a little time and read our tips for first-time off-roaders.

Before Setting Off

  • Check your vehicle's basic roadworthiness — tires, lights, brakes, and drivetrain should all be in good order. If your vehicle hasn't been serviced in a while or a service is shortly due, we'd encourage you to do it before venturing on the trails.
  • Take ample food, water, fuel, an emergency kit, clothes, tools, batteries, and power packs.
  • Inform someone where you are going and your expected date and time of return.

When Hitting The Trails

  • Don't be over-eager. Take it slow and smooth. It's not all about spinning wheels and kicking up dust.
  • Never venture off the beaten track, but follow the demarcated path.
  • Resist the temptation to go it alone. Find a group and join them. There's safety in numbers, especially if you get stuck and need winching out.
  • Take ample breaks, and ensure you stay hydrated, especially in warm weather.
