If you are planning on heading out and enjoying the trails this weekend, you should be logging in now to www.of4wd.com and checking out the latest information on our Trail Index found here https://www.of4wd.com/trails/about-the-trail-index
It's not just a tool for finding new trails, it's also the best way to find out the most up to date information on the ones you already know. Even if it's your most favorite trail, the one you've driven 25 times in the last 5 years and could "get there blindfolded", things can and often do change. Downed trees from storm damage, sections flooded out by the latest in Castor canadensis architecture, or trail changes due to logging initiatives & land status transfers, nature and our trails are continually evolving. A golden rule of our sport is to always Be Prepared, and that includes trail planning.
The OF4WD Trail Index is more than just a static map, it is a constantly evolving database with the latest trail information submitted by our members using the Submit A Trail Report feature found here.
https://www.of4wd.com/trails/submit-a-trail-report/
It's a simple process that takes less than 5 minutes, and lets us know of any trail concerns or maintenance required. Even if you find the trail to be exactly as listed in the index, submit a report as it helps establish timelines for anything that does arise down the trail. There is also a section at the report end where you can let us know if you feel the trail description and rating need adjusting.
The more you submit the more accurate the Trail Index becomes, and to help encourage reporting, we have partnered with our generous Headline sponsor TFT Offroad - Burlington to create the TFT TRAIL REPORT GIVEAWAY! Every month during the 2024 wheeling season we will be hosting a random draw for some awesome swag courtesy of TFT Offroad - Burlington and each report submitted automatically earns you another entry in that months draw. It doesn't matter if you are a seasoned trail guide, grizzled veteran, or fresh off your first newbie run, we want to hear from you.
But you can't win if you don't send them in.
