Hey anyone from Toledo area? I'm doing a camping trip at Cedar Creek State Park Oct. 8 and 9 and was wondering if there are any off roading areas around there or any good scenic views around.

Thanks!!!!

The trails are legal township roads that have not been vacated, but received no maintenence in decades. Nothing extreme, but there are still some fun rocky hill climbs, creek crossings, and best of all....no bottomless mudholes. You'll need 4 low and might hit a few rocks with the skids, but nothing serious and no chance of body damage aside from a scratch or two. Any stock or lightly modified Jeep would have a good time.

Its just an idea right now, I've seen several posters here wanting to get their Jeeps dirty but don't know where to go, and any trail ride is better than no trail ride.
Not sure if you every got this ride together or not. I hit Tar Hollow about once a month. I have just picked up my JK. Body damage is very possible as I smashed in a bumper! Easy fix tho. Love plastic, it can be heated back into shape. We have lost axles, shredded tires, and broke some u joints here and there, but always a blast. Some easy trails, some a little difficult. My stock sahara made it just fine (minus the bumper). Trail changes a lot. They have also started deforest along "power line rd". I have all trails (5) mapped. If you ever want to meet up, let me know. We go with 4-7 rigs.

Your stock rig will do just fine in Tar Hollow. I have a stock JK, no sweat. You are welcome to join us sometime. I am in the Columbus area.

I posted the ride details when I still lived in Ohio, but got 0 responses. I've since moved to Colorado, but thanks anyway for the invite. Tar Hollow to Moab, I've had fun wheeling it all.
