Where to ride in Ohio

[yellowtrail125]

New to the forum and new to owning a trail 125! Trying to find some fun areas to ride the trail 125 in Ohio. I saw the Southern Ohio Adventure Loop (SOAL) on a different forum, but I don't know if the trail 125 could run that course or not. Just looking for ideas or exploring ideas. Open to suggestions! Thanks in advance!

South, and West till you cross the Mississippi, and never look back, says the guy from Florida that hasn't yet followed his own advise... but soon!

What area are you in and what type of riding are you looking to do?

In the central Ohio area. I'm looking for some light trail riding or just areas that I could go explore on this bike. Obviously it's a capable machine, but I'm not trying to push the trail 125 to its limits. Just casual fun riding.

Moving out west sounds very tempting!

Wayne National forest starting pretty much between New Straightsville and down to the Athens area has a great trail system but is more then "light" trail riding in many areas. Open between like March 15th and Dec 15th I believe. Requires a permit sticker you purchase online or at several vendor locations. We normally ride sport 4 wheelers here. It can get pretty rough. Normal APV's have to stay on designated trails but a street legal bike would have many forest road options to explore between designated trails.

Also look for the G.O.A.T. (great ohio adventure trail) if you've been looking at the S.O.A.L. it may have legs closer to you depending on your specific location.
