Anyone know of any good North Dallas/Fort Worth off-road trails? I want to break the new 2012 JKU in this weekend!

Note: I can't go to big yet, my rock rails are on order and no lift yet.

Thanks

Ryan

 

Oh, and by "Tails" i mean "Trails"

 

Anything and everything in Texas is fenced off. Bridgeport OHV park in Bridgeport, TX and Barnwell Mountain Recreational Area in Gilmer, TX are your best bets. Both have trails you can do stock, but I found the maps and markers at both confusing and you can end up on a tough trail by accident (just turn around if you do). Best to go with a group of people with stock Jeeps - maybe a local club event.

 

Thanks for the heads up. I'm actually new to the Dallas area so I'm just getting to know my way around and wanted to go seek an adventure.

 

There's always Big Bend. We're doing a run in October. 100+ miles of wheeling. None of it's too intense, but a few spots will get your attention. PM me if you're interested.

 

LOL, I am glad you clarified that, I was going to say the Lodge, for some nice Dallas tail.

 

I did Black Gap Road back in '94... 114 degree heat in July. There were a few "crap where'd the trail go?" and "how could you do this (pin striping) to our new 4Runner?" and "are we about to roll over into the side of the mountain?" and "you should have told me to pack a sports bra" moments. Fun though. Def would want to go in a group these days with the border situation being what it is. Thanks for the heads-up.

 

Barnwell Mountain in Gilmer is awesome. I like going there. I just need to go back down some of the trails the wrong way to get matching penstriping.

 

Amarillo is a 6 hour drive from Dallas. There is the Canadian River and Palo Duro Canyon, I think some others. I played on the Canadian River on my way to Colorado, good times!

 

Let me know when and where your headed out to the "trail". I'm also interested in checking out some of the local (North Texas) trails.

I took the family To Big Bend about 8 weeks ago. We drove the River Road and took several day hikes in the Chisos Basin. Beautiful country. Highly recommend.
