My issue is being an outoftowner and the risks involved with law breaking 2 hrs from home. The unknowns of liability, public/private land use and seperation, what trail is ohv designated by USFS and what isn't, what is enforced and what isn't, public paved roads have clear rules but I hear they dont enforce it, there's just too many unknowns and guessing going on for my liking.
I hear lots of stuff like "others do it all the time". That's usually what I hear when I'm about to do something that I'll soon regret, lol.

There is a big project in the area to open an off-road park now a days 3 counties involved. Which is where most riding is done, about the only thing still open on federal land is carb hill. The boundary is decently marked.
Roads you habe to travel are dirt/gravel, or a very short piece up a county paved road with no center line unless you drove from camp grounds. The official trail head is on leeco road which is opposite side of the area as the national forest.
Those 3 counties are not going to mess with you for running up the road between properties, but to my knowledge nothing on the law books allowing it yet so a state, or federal officer could push the issue I suppose
Un related to that there is still a state vs fed battle over who controls what on the sand lick rd side. The narrows as we call it was gated by the feds and it is still a legal township road. Rand Paul got involved with it last year but I've not heard any updates recently.
