Jeep Trails in Illinois??

[ricky0018]

Coming up on one year of ownership and I've been crossing off all the things I wanted to try with my first Jeep. Hauling kids, transporting dogs, towing camper, mountain biking, driving naked (Jeep not me), etc. Next up is taking this thing off the pavement and on some dirt. Nothing crazy, just want to ride some small trails.

Now, there are plenty of farms nearby and trust me, I'm tempted to ride out there at night but I'm hoping this community can help me find a legit spot. I live in Northwest Illinois, anyone familiar with parks in the area that allow driving? The only ones I've found are for dirt bikes & atv's.

Thanks in advance.

Good place to start is in the local section, https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/forums/great-lakes.48/ or your local Jeep club.
Otherwise Ramblr or Gaia.
