Default ohv parks/trails

If a place is designated as a OHV (off-highway vehicle) can I still take my daily driver jeep to the park?
There's a place called scrubgrass a few miles north of me in PA, but its an ohv park. I didn't know if I can take my slightly modified jk out there, or if places like that are specifically for off roading rigs and "buggies" and atvs and stuff. Thanks!

Unless there is 50" limit gate keepers you should be legally fine! As far as the ability of your rig to handle it the best way to tour a park is via YouTube!

I won't say with 100% certainty, but in general "OHV" means that you don't need a licensed vehicle. Unlicensed ATVs are okay, for example. But it isn't clear whether larger vehicles--highway licensed vehicles are allowed from just that designator. You need to research each particular OHV area. There is one a couple miles from my home, for example, that is restricted to ATVs and motorcycles. In the case of the one you're interested in, it is open to pretty much everything ...

Sounds lots of medium trail riders and beginners go there.
