Yes there is quite a bit of good wheeling in the area, but you have to drive a bit for good legal wheeling. The only exception is Red Cloud Off Road Park in Wood Bridge.
is not real strong here, there are a lot of members in the area but most of us are centered on other local clubs. The best (IMHO as an ex President), largest and most active is NoVaJeepers. www.novajeepers.net There is usually a ride each month. We wheel at Red Cloud, Chaos, Rausch, Crozet (new), The Cove and all over the George Washington National Forest. The Club is very strict about illegal wheeling. Other than Red Cloud the nearest legal place is about 2hrs from DC.
