Where-abouts are you from? I love in East Liverpool, Ohio and usually go to Wellsville. It's mostly hill climbs. A lot of buggies down there. Some gnarly stuff. It's also called the forbidden zone but we call it yellow creek.

I'm just south of you outside of Steubenville. I'm not looking for hill climbs, I'm looking for some moderate mud holes, slight rock crawling and such. As it stands my JK is my daily driver. And I really need it to go to and from class to finish my degree to fix my JK when I break it.

Southington is only open the first full weekend each month. Has a good mix of all trail types and difficulties.

Always a contingent of JK Freaks out there as well.

I would stay away from Wellsville, myself. It's private land, that I believe is being sold to build a power plant. The local authorities have been notified to arrest anyone on sight for trespassing. There may be some areas that aren't marked, but that doesn't mean it's "legal". You're on your own out there. You get stuck, don't bother coming back for your rig, it'll likely be stripped and burned to the ground. LOL!
