Places to Off Road in New Jersey

While the state of New Jersey does not officially have an off-road vehicle program in effect, the state does boast numerous areas for off-road enthusiasts to experience the thrill of riding.

  1. Wharton State Park

    • Located in the region of New Jersey known as the Pine Barrens, Wharton State Park is over 500 miles of wilderness and unpaved trails. It is important when considering off-roading in this area to be sure to stick to the trails to avoid damaging the ecosystem and historical landmarks within the park. In addition, all off-road vehicles must be licensed and approved for street-level driving.

    Owner Pit

    • Located near Weymouth, New Jersey, this area is known for tracks crisscrossing seven acres of rocky and hard terrain. Passing Weymouth Furnace on Route 54, off-roaders should continue past the first intersection before turning left onto the second dirt road. After travelling down the road for approximately one mile, there is a road on the right hand-side that leads to the track.

    Parkway Trails

    • Located near Manahawkin, parkway trails are located along either side of Garden State Parkway. Muddy in the spring-time, these trails are easily accessible from both sides of the parkway.
