Off Roading in NH... Help please! Just looking for some fun :) (Hillsborough: closing, beaches)

[07mackenzie]

Hi everyone, my friend and I like to go out in a small SUV and just go off the road sometimes; lately we've just been playing in my backyard where we have paths in the woods but it's getting boring. Now, we don't want to go do anything illegal so if anyone has any suggestions for some fun off road trails that could fit an SUV we would really appreciate it - we usually only have time to do it at night after work, so preferably something that doesn't have gates closing at a certain time. Hillsborough county area -- thank you!!

You almost certainly will need to join a club. The state and towns just don't maintain public land for people to tearing up with SUVs. There are some public ATV trails, but trucks will not be allowed (too many morons from Mass who think owning a Hummer entitles them to drive 75mph on forestry roads and beaches).

mackenzie, I also recommend joining a club. There used to be sandpits in many communities in southern NH and northern MA where we went mudding and off-roading--many of these now are housing developments, as are most of the trails that I spent hours of my youth exploring

New England 4 Wheelers has a board that you might join: New England 4 Wheelers Inc. (Powered by Invision Power Board)

And another: Northeast Association of 4WD Clubs

Also Yankee Toys

By joining a club, you can take part in maintaining trails for everyone's enjoyment, promoting responsible ridership, etc.

Good luck
