Default Favorite trails and parks in the Midwest?

Always looking to hear favorite places to wheel in the midwest - from MILD TO WILD!

The ones we frequent the most: Badlands in IN, and Windrock TN

Other suggestions?

I really like Southern Missouri Off Road Ranch (SMORR) in Seymour, MO.

Trails for stock to wild rigs. Family friendly, has tent and RV camping.

Great folks that run the place too!

@jedg - Thanks! I've heard great things about that one too. We were going to try to plan a trip there this month, but likely will try to get there in April/May. Any suggestions on where to play around in there? Must-hit locations within the park, that is?

I will be there on May 20th (back in the US on R&R). I'm going with some folks from a local club (Ozark Jeep Thing). You are welcome to join us if you like?

As for trails to hit, what are you willing to do? The picture that is my icon is one of the trails from SMORR (Black Mamba) which is a 3 or 4 on their scale of 6.

You could also hit RedBird SRA in Linton IN. Be there 10 June if you wanna role with me. Have a newbie run scheduled for Muddy Buddys out of Dayton

@MTNBKR that sounds awesome! I'll look into the dates and hit you up! By June we will definitely be out of the snow and out on the trails more so may take you up on that!
