Off Roading on Long Island NY

Have an 09 D cab Off Road, Looking to see what she can do. Does anyone know where there are some places besides the beach where I can do some off roading?

 

I know 09tacoLI is from the island. The closest place he has been was in NJ I think.

But I don't know for sure.

 

Yea I figured that. Thanks

 

Gota be some construction sites you could scope out and make a run up some hills, hit the mud, slam the ditch...that's what I do, and then get the fug out fast.

 

Take a ferry over to CT. I'm sure there's a lot more places to offroad there than on LI.

 

Yea, was thinking the same thing. Just wanted to see where other members on LI took there truck.

 

good question...

 

rausch creek in pa or one of those other offroad parks

 

hot water street and the DEC property out in riverhead. fun fun trail, but expect to be washing your truck afterwards! hah let me know when you go out there maybe ill join you to break in my taco

 

Riverhead is not to far from me. Might look into that. Thanks, and will let you know.

 

I'd take a head's up on that, too. Just picked up our 2010 4x4 I4. No off road experience but only one way to get it...

We're no more than 15 minutes from Riverhead in Hampton Bays...

 

Park ave in Manhatten looks like it has some pretty rough pot holes...

 

haha nice! and yet true.


hot water street is accessible from county road 51 just less than a mile west of suffolk community college. its not marked, its just a dirt road that goes back into the woods. once your back there you need to look out for your first left that is hot water st. if you keep going you will come to a very very muddy clearing called 'hunters garden' which also has several trails leading off of it. im just warning you now that they are very narrow and you will risk scratching up the side of your shiney new ride, i usually stick to hot water st ever since i buried my blazer down to the frame on one of those side trails lol. if your coming from port jeff though and your taking the LIE take exit 70 rt 111 south and you'll see hot water st comes up on your left after about a mile. it will definatly be fun to take a trip out there after all this rain!

 

You guys still up for a run? My truck will be a year old August 1st and it has not seen any dirt yet. Let me know.

 

I found hot water street on Google maps. It this a trail off of the road? Any chance of cops showing up?

 

idk li cops are d.b so i would say yes...
it would be cheaper to ride for a day at someplace legal

 

I hear ya, but it is so much easier to just drive 15 minutes up the road hit some trails for an hour or so, and be home in 2 hours.

 

let me know how it is

 

I will, would be cool to go with someone else just in case I get stuck...Any takers?

 

Urban off-roading!

I'm not sure how far you're looking to go or how much vertical you're looking for but you could venture into the Catskills or further north into the Berkshires or Adirondacks. There's lots of places to go wheeling and camping to make a weekend out of it.
