Theres a place called Yankee Lake. Its on route 7 in brookfield Oh. That place is hard core.Its totally legal and they charge a fee to get in. Its $10 per person and well worth it. Just be careful where you go cuz you can kill your Jeep real quick.Every friday night but ends this month, starts again in May. Fee includes them pulling you out if u get stuck. You have to sign a waver releasing them of all liability to you and your Jeep. They also have medical squads there if you get hurt. Look up truck night .com for all the info. Its about 45 min from Ravenna,Oh, so about1 to 1.5 hours from Cleveland. If you go be very careful and find someone with a Jeep comparable to yours til you learn the pits and trails. Trust me I know , Ikilled my XJ in a huge mud hole. Cost me about $2000 to 2500. Good luck.They have only been around for 3 to 4 years and are rated no. 7 place in the country to offroad.

What kind of rig would one need for the trails? Mine is still pretty much stock, but I would love to go somewhere and let her go at it! I just dont want to flip 'er.

How is this place really (and where?)? I've heard conflicting stories. Would I be able to bring Little ones? I really don't want to go hardcore or anything right now, But they would get a kick out of it I'm sure!

I just found this place in Garretsville Oh which is alot closer than any of them. Its called JEEPSKOOL. They have 1500 acres of everything. Its $30 to get in , but that is for the whole weekend including camping and all. Trails are open from 8am til midnight. They willl even teach you if you dont know how to wheel.

They jost dont want you to drink and drive and kill someone. Your allowed to drink at your campsite and you can wheel til like 11 or 12 at night. They even have kids jeepskool to give the kids something to do if they dont want to go with you. For the 4th of july they blew up 3 XJs with military cannons. Didnt care much for that. They shouldve blown up some Tacos.lol.
