Offroading in Hampton Roads?

Just wondering if anyone knows any good spots in the Hampton Roads VA area to do a little mudding? I live in Hampton and have found zero places to engage 4X4. I have a 2003 6.0L F250, 6" Lift, 35" Nitto Mud Grapplers, and nowhere to use them . I've heard the Outer Banks in NC. were good, but strict rules and a little of a drive. If anyone has any good ideas, i'm all ears. Looking for an offroad buddy in the area if anyone is interested also.

Get in touch with K_jett if you are interested in mud drags. He can hook you up with the schedule.


If you want trails take a look at Rausch Creek offroad park in PA. Id imagine thats about 3-4hrs north of you - 2hrs above Baltimore. Its a nice place and a lot of fun.


Another nice place is The Gulches in Laurens, SC. I have friends that go up there about once a month.

Your about 20 years late for 4 wheelin in Hampton. Before Michals Woods was developed, Sandy Bottoms was the chit. Could wheel from Harpersville Rd to Big Bethal Rd down the power line.

Rausch Creek ftw!

Kris, my sister's husband got a new jeep he wants to take up there, we need to get something planned to go back up sometime.
