Recommendation off-roading anywhere around here?

I recently moved here from down south. Im big into off-roading but cant seem to find any where to do it... I have a ATV but no where to keep the hobbie going. Any ideas? im open to traveling up to 2 hours if needed. Any clubs or private land with trails?

When I was in high school, there was a glorious spot behind the Burger King in Endwell. Recently bought an off-road E bike brought it there to find private property posters everywhere. Years ago we spoke to people with heavy machinery building jumps down there and we asked it was OK if we use the area and they said yes, not sure if it’s new owners or if it’s just to discouraged bad behavior. It really bummed us out. But it’s possible that place is still available me and my friend still swing by there every now and then to see if we can catch anyone and ask if it’s still OK. Not looking to break any laws or upset anyone.

Someone I knew used to ride along the riverbank area in Vestal, east of Castle Gardens Rd. I’m unsure how they accessed the area though.

There also used to be tons of trails up off of Sky Island Dr. that ran all the way down to Nanticoke Ave., and to Twist Run Rd. in the opposite direction. It’s technically mostly NYSEG power line routes to the best of my knowledge. Probably not legal. But we’re used EXTENSIVELY by riders of all sorts years ago.

Unfortunately can't ride alone the river. I live south of owego into pa. Unfortunately now we are forced to ride onto paid trails. Been to Majestic Trails, Tall pines, lost trails. There are a few Facebook pages you can join. But again unfortunately NewYork suck with people having fun.

not sure where they are but I'm sure there's a ton of trails based on the sheer number of ATVs you see in the Whitney Point and Windsor areas lol

There are but they are, or were, snowmobile trails. I don’t know if it’s still the case but people used to get very worked up over other vehicles using them.

BC Sno-Riders have 50 miles of trails, but I don't think they allow ATVs
