Alright, we were talking about offroad trails near Washington, DC and Alexandria, VA.  Again, last warning, we are talking about Jeep trails and 4x4 trails that are large/wide enough to fit a passenger vehicle - no ATVs or dirtbikes talked about here.  The first offroad trail near NOVA is Peters Mill Run OHV Trail located 104 miles west of Washington, DC with a drivetime of about one hour and fifty minutes.  Peters Mill Run is a great 6.5 mile OHV trail along the top of the mountain in the George Washington National Forest. It is a family friendly, stocker ready trail that offered a bunch of small rocky sections, traversing on top on the mountain with great views, a few mud pits, and a great time for everyone. I would recommend making sure you have sometype of recovery kit with you like this X-Bull Kit before hitting the trails, always better to be safe than sorry.

The next offroad trail near Washington, DC and Alexandria, VA is the Frederick Watershed Area located 52 miles north of Washington, DC.  The Frederick Watershed Area is a series of dirt roads located in the Frederick Municipal Forest in Frederick, MD.  Here you will find some creek crossings and small elevation changes, but nothing that should scare even a stock 4x4 rig.  If you do head this way, north into Maryland, make sure to also check out St John's Rock ORV Trail, it is a bit further NW into MD, but is a dedicated off road vehicle area set up by Maryland's Department of Natural Resources.  You can view trail reviews and also browse the offroad trails map on Where2Wheel.com - W2W is free to access and use!

The last offroad trail that we are going to cover near Washington, DC and Alexandria, VA is MuddyNutz Play Ground located 104 miles east of DC.  MuddyNutz is an offroad park in Dover, DE; make sure to check their site for opening times and prices.  If you're looking for more offroad options, there are many more Jeep trails and 4x4 trails listed on Where2Wheel, but it's easier if you visit W2W and view the offroad trails map for yourself.
