Trail bike riding-small displacement (Raleigh, Durham: chapel, to buy, legal)

Is there anywhere you can go dirt bike riding?My brother moved to the Apex area and I was wondering if there is a suitable(safe and legal) area to go trail riding-not motocross.

Motorized or trail bicycles? I know that Lake Crabtree has a track for non-motorized dirt bikes. Have you done a search?

Have you checked the national forests? Like Uwharrie, Nantahala,Pisgah (mtns) Croatan (east) ?
Uwharrie would be closest. I think all of those have atv trails.

Sorry, used to be lots of trails in this area, but they are pretty much either developed, private property, or motorcross tracks now.

Thanks for those links,I think one of them states that if you have a street legal motorcycle or ATV you can use the trails.Good reason to buy a enduro-on-off road motorcycle.

I think some of the Greenways are off road.....not to the point of true mountain biking but there are some non paved paths.
