All you Rhode Islanders, post your favorite RI Wheeling Spots!!! :-)

 

I grew up in RI but moved out in 1965. At the time, the New England Trail Rider's Association had marked trails and leased landowner's rights for motorcycles. I wasn't aware we HAD 4-wheelin' areas. Maybe we didn't. I know the Cape Cod lands were off limits but guys wheeled the dunes anyhow. What's going on now? I now live in Syracuse, NY and miss RI a lot. It might be worth a trip back to have some fun!

 

I was actually kinda hoping someone might know of a place! Im only 15, and moved here from CA three years ago. I only know of one little "Water Crossing" up in Exeter. You should definitely make a trip back! First stop, Iggys for Clam Cakes & Chowder!!!

 

I grew up on clam cakes! Gawd, how I miss them! Another thing I REALLY miss is sailing on 'Gansett Bay. People ask me how small RI is and I tell them it's smaller than the county I live in, and 1/2 of that is water!

Let me do some research and I'll try to make some contacts for you. PM me and we'll do some e-mail. I'm 67 but not dead yet!

 

all of our real wheeling is now illegal.

but if you have a stock rig there are a few old washed out roads here and there that have been unmaintained for years.

 

STOCK 2WD RIG! Haha. I never even knew RI had trails.

 

Upstate NY has some beautiful trails in their state parks, but the only motorized vehicles allowed are snowmobiles! Not even dirtbikes! And I hate horses!

 

I'm not to familiar with Coventry but I here theres sum dunes there? Plenty of wheeling spots over the line here in mass

 

I've heard about Coventry, but you need a permit. Where you get it, IDK. You'd be better off hooking up with guys in eastern Conn.

 

TBH I have heard about it myself but thought it was a joke. I didn't know you needed a permit though...Maybe a permit for horses because they are animals, but for a truck? WTF...Makes no sense.

 

You've never heard of permits to use OHV areas?

 

Never.

 

I've never Hurd that about the permit either but I LNG they charge u a couple bucks to get in and there's an air pump to fill ur tires back up before u leave.i saw the spot off the highway on my way to Foxwoods ths weekend

 

I heard they charge* lol

 

Going to blow through all your money eh? You shoulda stopped!!! Lol
