Hi, im curious for you folks in the GTA where are some places you go offroading. Im looking to start but dont know around where. If we get enough people maybe we could do a offroading group. Willing to drive quite far.

Either Hamilton / Grimsby which I went a few years back with Jeepers, meh, good for beginners.

Next would be Minden Area
 
I’m probably headed to Minden on the 30th (last day of the season)

Is there an actual labeled trail or any suggestions ? I am a newbie and just want to get out and try it before building up the rig to take on harder trails.
 
Unfortunately I don't know where to go and have never gone offroading or on trails, but I'd be interested in joining you.

Found a couple trails as suggested by other members

Concession Lake trail
Minden Hydroline Trail

Now i have a slight lift setup, but dont have sliders, skidplates or winches so im not sure how doable these are for novices.

Is that the minden hydroline trail? How would you rate that in difficulty and whether someone with no sliders/skidplates/winch/bumpers would be able to do it.

Yeah, it’s the hydro line. It’s a beginner run that a stock 4x4 can do. OF4WD uses that trail for their “newbie” runs. I’ll have my truck if there anyways if there are any issues and I also have a stock wrangler coming too.

Definitely don’t run Concession stock.

I was just searching in regards to the trail, there was mention its closed to motorized vehicles?

It’s legally open up to a certain point in the trail where it splits off. After the T (outhouse) it’s closed. You still get to run a good portion of the trail with lots of fun to be had.

Was just checking the map, i see the outhouse junction where it splits north and west are both trails closed off after that point? I have no skid plates/winch/sliders would that be fine. Im just trying to get my feet wet into this before i leave this year, before i start dumping money into mods.
 
That’s correct. It’s closed after that point.
Your truck will do that trail without issue. We will spot you though any sections you aren’t comfortable with and go nice and slow. I have a winch on my truck if we need it

Hubble appreciate the offer to take us newbs out. Unfortunately my mother in law is in town for the American Thanksgiving holiday so as much as I would love to take you up on the offer I won't be able to make it. Are all trails off limits until the Spring then?

Anytime! There is always next year.

Unfortunately, yes, all trails are closed until May 1st at the earliest (pending trail conditions).

COORJC in 2018 Check out this website, seems like a couple trails closeby. Let me know if you interested in running a couple before end of year as i leave the country till april. Im in Aurora/Markham btw
 
Hi guys,

I'm in the Stouffville area (north of Markham) and have a stock 2017 SR5. I did some offroading awhile back at the Marydale Park Road in Newtonville area (Crown hyrdo line land. I posted about it in the Scenic Places thread). It was a lot of fun and I'd be in for some more beginner-intermediate trail type stuff next spring/summer if you go. Until then take it easy.

Regards.
