Anyone ride in the MA state parks, listed here: https://www.mass.gov/off-road-vehicles/locations. I’m new to off-roading so assuming we can ride these… if not, go easy on me

I’m considering Franklin, due to distance, how technical are these?

Only one way to find out

OR, hear me out… someone else tells me….

I’ll be the guinea pig !

Think: State forests, not parks. They're less regulated. I've heard Freetown State forest in the southeast area (near Providence) has 4x4 trails, but 1) they aren't mapped out very clearly and 2) there's not much in the way of obstacles. Just pleasant dirt-road driving. Also 3) there's a lot of ATV trails which aren't open or suitable to 4x4 (us), so you might head down a trail and find you have to turn around. That's part of the offroad experience: finding out there are limits.

Yea, i get that, just hoping someone else has done some of it. Freetown looks promising, someone else threw me that recommendation. I’ll share if it goes well (or not)

Headed to Freetown today. It was super fun. Very mild, but awesome. There are a few side spots with obstacles that I wouldn't tough on my own. Easily can spend 2-3 hours exploring in there.

Sorry so late to this conversation. I have ridden dirtbikes a lot in Freetown. There are a lot of single-track trails. And there are a fair amount of dirt and rock roads that are maintained. It's kind of weird in there because there are ATVs, dirt bikes, horses and trucks. There are rules on who can go where. But half the people in there don't know them and if the EP show up, they usually just correct you and send you on your way. You can probably do most of the roads with a 2wd. So it's not like a fun place to wheel. But it IS a fun place. It's very cool in there and if you get up to the top of the quarry, it's a magnificent spot to have lunch.
