I'm going to head out to the DC area soon for a trip. Is there a place to rent ATV's around there? VA, MD, or DC areas? I've googled and can't find anything other than WV.

 

Yeah theres some good riding around here....where you comin from and stayin?

 

Anywhere a few hunderd miles from DC. There some mountains maybe one hour west of there, surely some company has a set up like:

I've been web searching, but haven't found anything in VA.

 

I think I'm going to try some riding in the Front Royal, VA area in December. I think I found a trail out there.

 

The only place out near Front Royal is Taskers Gap / Peters Mill, run by the Park Service (George Washington National Forest). Easy to get to, designed as ATV trails. $ 5 fee. Parking but no vending/snacks. About 20 minutes south of Front Royal off I-81, take the Woodstock Exit.

Peters Mill is a easy to moderate 8-mile run Wide enough for Jeeps, some rocks. Taskers Gap on the parking lot side is much rockier, and slower. Do-able on 2WD quads except for a few sections.

The ATV trail adjacent to Peters Mill is a Rock Garden. You should have a 4x4 and enjoy traveling at 2 mph if you go on that trail.

There is the Southern Maryland ATV Park south of DC in Budds Creek, off 301. A nice 1 mile groomed MX track and 22 miles of trails that are fun (single track all). $ 50 fee to ride for the day. Concession stand and very tidy, clean park.

Other than that, its a major trek out to either Rausch Creek in PA (or Tower City), or Hatfield - McCoy in WV.

have fun!
