In order to keep the offroad community up to date with the latest and most accurate wheeling information, we have created an offroad trails map that covers the entire USA.  The trails map on Where2Wheel is powered by the offroad community and is totally reliant on individual offroaders contributing their knowledge to keep the map up to date and accurate.  So if you do go wheeling on any of these trails, make sure to leave a review on W2W, or make any adjustments to the trail descriptions as needed since trail conditions can, and often do, change frequently.

Alright, we were talking about offroad trails near Pittsburgh, PA.  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.  I'll start off by saying that the Pittsburgh, PA area is full of lesser known, local trails that you can find on the W2W trails map by clicking here, but for those of you that enjoy reading I'll cover a few of the major trails in the area.  The first offroad trail near Pittsburgh is Scrubgrass OHV Park located 54 miles NE of Pittsburgh.  Scrubgrass OHV Park has more than 1,200 acres of trails to ride and is open at least one weekend a month for trail rides, check out their site here for open date and more information.

The next offroad trail near Pittsburgh is the Nemacolin Woodlands Offroad Course located 70 miles SE of Pittsburgh.  This offroad spot is for those looking for a guided 4x4 experience.  Nemacolin Woodlands Offroad Course is a great option to help you find your offroad footing. Here they have over 20 miles of wooded trails along with a rock garden, and they will guide you through all this terrain while teaching you how to get the most out of your 4x4. You can bring your own Jeep or ride along in theirs, but if you are interested in getting into offroading and you are in PA, then you should visit the Offroad Driving Academy at Nemacolin.  Check here for pricing and hours.  Again, if you are looking for some more accessible trails near Pittsburgh, view the W2W trails map here.

The last offroad trail that we are going to cover near Pittsburgh is St John's Rock ORV Trail located 100 miles SE of Pittsburgh, PA.  It's about a 2 hour drive from Pittsburgh to St John's Rock in Maryland, but absolutely worth it for some high-quality 4x4 action. The St. John’s Rock ORV Trail, located within Savage River State Forest, includes more than 12 miles of woodland trails professionally conceptualized and constructed specifically for recreational enjoyment and use. ORV enthusiasts and riders even provided contractors and engineers feedback and input on the trail throughout the process. This gem of an offroad area was created by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, so make sure to check their site about operating hours and cost before heading out, and make sure to bring some type of recovery equipment such as: winch, tow rope, recovery kit, cum-along, etc...  If you're looking for more offroad options, maybe some trails closer to Pittsburgh, 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.
