Or is everything past the initial parking spots, at either entrance, off limits? There's a system of dirt roads that run through Nepaug and they all connect at some point, are these a no-go as well?
Although "there is no legal wheeling in CT" etc I too have driven and seen many people drive on the dirt roads past the parking and passed the DEP as well. Many people also seem to drive to the river to fish, tube etc.

Anyone been to Rausch creek? I'm thinking about going on a nice weekend once it warms up. Looking to do some light trails without messing up the new jeep too much. how are the light trails, also hows the camp grounds? I would rather have the whole experience and camp there instead of staying in a hotel. I think its only a little over 4 hours from me in new haven county.

Good to know. I'm usually just passing through to get to a fly fishing spot.

They have everything from dirt roads to buggy only trails. One of the best places in the "North East" to wheel.

Camping is primitive at best, bring something soft to sleep on.

Look out for trips to Rausch Creek on this forum. We often organize trips. I went this spring and had a blast on the green trails. The organizer divided us up into green, blue and black groups and we had an experienced trail leader. Awesome!!

RC is tons of fun. Enough trails to keep you busy for days. Camping is definitely the only way to go. I haven't been in a few years but since then its only gotten bigger and better!
