Living in Denton has its benefits. The people are friendly and there’s lots to do over the weekend, including going on off-road adventures with your friends and family! When you’re itching to get away from the city so you can tear it up and get a little muddy, check out these nearby off-roading trails and destinations curated by the local team at Group 1 Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM Denton. All of these off-road trails near Denton can be reached within one to three hours of driving, so pack up your gear, fill up your tank, and get ready to hit the roads less traveled!
If you drive about one hour west into Bridgeport, you’ll reach Northwest OHV Park! The park has some awesome Jeep off-road trails near Denton but welcomes all types of 4×4 and AWD vehicles, and it’s close enough to home to make a fun day trip out of it. When you get there, you’ll discover over 300 acres of land converted into an off-roader’s dream landscape. Over 25 miles of trails throughout the park are marked by varying degrees of difficulty, so everyone from the casual sightseer to the experienced trail enthusiast can find somewhere they’re comfortable.
About two hours northwest in Wichita County is the Lake Buffalo OHV Area. Jeeps and other 4×4 vehicles will be put to the test on a small but exciting range of off-roading trails here with plenty of obstacles to try out, including dry washes, rocky hill climbs, and dispersed rock gardens.
Are you willing to drive a little farther out to enjoy some of Texas’ top-rated off-roading trails? River Run ATV Park is about 2 hours and 45 minutes southeast of Denton, so it’s not exactly local but it’s worth taking a day off and planning a long weekend trip here with your friends or family. They even have special events throughout the year, which you’ll find listed on their website!
It’s easy to plan a two or three-day trip to River Run Park because they have cabins and RV sites for rent, so you’ll have somewhere to clean up, eat, and rest after a long day of exploring their off-roading trails. If you’re planning a trip here, know that most of their trails are for ATVs, but a small OHV like the Jeep Wrangler can still find some areas to explore.
