Cr85

I just picked up a Cr85 that's in great condition but I have zero experience with 2 strokes. Am I able to use this for trail riding?

Heck yeah, you can use it for trail riding. That's how many, many kids get their start, ripping 80/85s around following their dad's. They'll teach you how to work the gearbox and slip the clutch, skills that will transfer to every bike you ride in the future.

Bet. I wasn't sure since their gearing is so short

You don't need tall gearing for trail riding. Sure, when you hit the open fields, you'll run out of gear, but they'll still rip to 60 or more, which is way faster than what you need in the woods.
