NH - Class 3 and Forest Roads

[auswee]

Hi everyone, I hope I'm posting this in the right area.

I've been searching Google here and there for a list of Class 3 and White Mountain Nat'l Forest Roads in New Hampshire that are acceptable for wheeling without really coming up with anything definitive.

So in the interest of trying to put something together, I'm hoping that some folks can chime in if you have any Class 3 road notes or any information about any of these roads maintained by the US Forest Service:

http://www.fs.fed.us/r9/forests/white_mountain/conditions/roads_status.php

If anyone in NH (or ME, VT, or MA) wants to try and help document the accessibility of some of these fire roads this spring, I guess this would be as good a place as any to start.

What do ya'll think?

Cheers,

Pretty much all of those roads are drivable with a car.

Why the heck do they close them in the winter? Just plowing? argh

You have any info on Class 3 roads or are most of these gated nowadays?

Snowmobiles.

Class 6 roads are the ones to pay attention to, but info about them is not shared on open forums.

Look up the northeast association of four wheel drive (NEA4WD) and get involved in a local club.

Plenty of places to go wheeling, you just have to be a member (private property).

arg... the secrecy... its so hard to find any trails....

No, its not. You just need to pony up a few bucks like MoparManiac suggested, and you'll have plenty of wheelin available to you.

Thats the whole point... keep the tree huggers guessing.

The fallacy of east coast wheeling.

 

[MoparManiac]

Enough trails out here to keep you wheeling for a long time without seeing the same trail twice.

Just get involved.

Thats the whole point... keep the tree huggers guessing.

Also keeps the idiots who tear shit up, litter, abuse their access, and dump illegally away, at least for a while.
