The Top 5 Best Off-Roading Locations

Can't wait to take that custom-rigged, heavy-duty Rocky Ridge custom truck off-roading? That's great, but where will you go with it? There are so many awesome off-roading locations both locally and nationally that you may have a hard time deciding. With this in mind, we've compiled a list of our top five around the country – feel free to check out one, two or all five of these spots, and add some of your own!

Hollister, CA

The Hollister Hills State Vehicular Recreational Area (also known as Hollister Hills SVRA) contains over 20 miles of trails –including manmade obstacles such as mud bogs – on which to impress onlookers with your Rocky Ridge custom truck. Check the weather conditions before setting out, as this area is in the Gabilan Mountains and is subject to flooding and impassible routes. The recreational area is also a popular place for events, so call ahead to make sure that you won't be crashing a party!

Moab, Utah

Moab, UT

Mountain bikers, rafters, hikers and off-road truckers have enjoyed many adventures amid the scenic terrain of Moab, Utah. This location has actually seen so many visitors that some of the trails are currently closed down or un-drivable. Despite this, there is still plenty to see and do here and many off-road drives to experience.  

Marseilles, IL

The Cliffs Insane Terrain Park offers one of the most popular locations for off-roading in the area. True enthusiasts go crazy for the narrow creeks and heavily wooded terrain—not to mention an infamous mud pit that remains almost impossible to find on your own and usually requires a bit of guidance from personnel. And did we mention the trick holes that appear as simple, easy-riding mud puddles? There is never a dull moment at this location for anyone with a Rocky Ridge custom truck.

Whipsaw Trail, British Columbia

Whipsaw Trail, located in South Central British Columbia, is one of the most sought after off-roading sights in the area during the late summer months of July and August. The trail even received the Goodrich Outstanding Trails award; however, off-roaders are warned to take caution, as the trail currently serves as an active logging and mining road, as well. Bring towing equipment in case your vehicle gets trapped in this tricky spot.

Redneck Yacht Club, FL

The Redneck Yacht Club Mud Park, located in Punta Gorda, Florida is considered by many to be the epitome of off-road trucking adventures. This area is about 800 acres across and contains a mud trail, three different mud holes, and a drive-through ATV wash. The Redneck Yacht Club is also home to camping facilities, food vendors, and other crowd-pleasing amenities. Bring the family along for an off-roading adventure here!
