I'm looking as well, let me know what you find. I've posted a couple times in different forums and I assume I'll find a couple spots. There's the Budds Creek park down south that sounds nice, just got to pay some $$$.

Hey, my friends all just got their ATV's not too long ago, I still need to get mine. Anyway, they all talk greatly about this place called "the pits" it's right off of Rt. 95 going north near Laurel MD. I beleive that you can actually see this place from Rt.95. I'll have to get back with you about which exit it is off of Rt.95.

Oh, and this place is out in the open (no fees) I guess it's county property but everyone goes there and has been for years!

Good luck!

This is a great place to ride, but when somebody gets hurt, it gets crawling with po po.It is all posted , so when you get caught, they MAY give you a 500$ no trespassing , must appear in court, ticket, along with the stipulation that you get to walk the thousand acre perimeter and post the owners NO TRESPASSING signs on every tree.Lots of places to enter and exit, but whatever you do, don't park at the gates right next to Rt. 95, because if they are out for fresh meat that day, they WILL start paperhanging there! good luck!

Budds creek, i know the place you are talking about and i love going there. but havent been recently. if you own ur own land that is good. my friend has a couple hundred acres down on the eastern shore where we ride.

Hey Poopy, any chance you all are looking for more riders? Also, has anyone actually rode at Budds Creek? Their website says they don't allow casual riding, only racing events. I've been to the ATV park next to Budds, and it fails in comparison. I would love to ride Budds some day. Anyone have connection?

Hey Marylanders! My friends and I are going to try our luck tomorrow over at the "pits" in Laurel. My friends went in a large group last Sunday and they had a blast with no problems. I just hope nothing happens but I've been told that it's usually pretty cool and that we don't have much to worry about.

Keeping my fingers crossed for no cops and no accidents.....

Hey EigerMike, I went to the Laurel pits yesterday with a bunch of friends. It was my first time there and boy did we have a blast!!! That place is so enormous!!! We rode all kinds of trails there and some very technical ones as well. I've never been to Hatfields and McCoys but as long as the "pits" is here and we get no heat then I'm pretty happy with this place!!!! Saw a bunch of other riders there too overall about 30 or so guys...

Hey is the place you are talking about off of Rt.5?? There's some power lines there I've seen while getting onto to Rt.5 from Rt.301 it was on my right where I noticed some trails. Is this place safe? I've heard rumours that some guys sometimes get "jacked" for their bikes at gun point!!!!

Where is that place located out at Laurel. I used to live in that area years ago and we used to 4x4 at a place not far off of I95. Got some directions.

I rode that place in Brandywine yesterday. Was hardley noone there. Also a bulldozer was in there and took out most of the area we used to ride. Leveled out the hils and tore up the area pretty bad. I think that area is getting ready to die off.

Tracker,

was that the place off N Keys road? I went by there a week ago and someone intentionally knocked down some tress blocking the access. Was it cleared up when you went?

Thanks Eiger, let us know what you find out. I can't speak for all, but I'm limiting myself to places that I KNOW are legal. I'll have my 5y/o with me and I don't care to take any chances with him around. Thanks again. Z

Hey Tracker12, The "Pits" is probably the same place you're talking about that you went to years ago on your 4x4. It was my first time, but this place is so huge it's not just all that you can see with the naked eye. My friends went with some other guys that knew all the trails and hot spots there and it just keeps going and going. It's an awesome place! The trails were very technical and complicated at some points which made it so good! We did cross over a few roads and went over and under some bridges onto other wooded and open land. I can't wait to go again!!! Once again I have to say that this place is awesome!!!! Hatfields & McCoys who???...lol..jk We just have to keep this low key b/c it's private property...

P.S. I'll "P.M" you with the directions we took and where we parked" don't know who's reading....

Thanks Eiger, here's what I found today. This past weekend some guys decided to go to the place off 301 (N. Keys). They found the knocked over trees and walked up to see what was going on. They noticed some dozer equipment and ran into a guy that lived near by. The guy said they could park at his house and ride to the area. When they decided to go riding next they couldn't get a hold of the guy. They went up and rode the area anyway only to find cops waiting and handing out $500 tickets. They all have to appear in court now. Turns out the trees that are down are a result of some Natural Resources provision. So, I don't know full details but this is the second or third case of someone riding and getting slapped with a $500 ticket (different areas). Mix this with Trackers finding all the equipment, it sounds like something is going on and that placed can be scratched off the list.

If anyone hears differently or more info please share. Thanks.
