theres some in the northwestern part of the state.

a couple i would call "hidden gems" but its mostly unmaintained dirt roads. but definately more challenging than what long island has to offer.

i have some friends at neit, many are graduating this spring, but there has always been several jeep guys/girls that go there

theres gleeb street in rehoboth, which is a couple minutes away from me and im in north attleboro. its all condemned swamp land like mud pits and a couple pretty short and fairly easy rock trails, but i head out there sometimes to check out stuff i just did to the xj. its not too bad and its also legal.

rattlesnake is now closed most stuff in ri is also getting closed down. if u want some good people to wheel with try www.oceanstatejeepsters.com great folks. and oh yeah thats my rig on the home page lol. but there trying real hard to find people with land to give permission to use their land so sign up and join the fight
