Looking for newbie off-roading recommendations - Central/Southern Indiana

Pretty much as the title states. It pretty much flat as heck around here and most of friends with Jeeps are pretty hardcore. I'd like to take my kids out this spring to see if off-roading interests them at all but I don't want to rattle their heads to hard on the first try.

 

Can't speak from personal experience but I've heard good things about Badlands in that neck of the woods.

You could try posting in the Indiana thread, might get better info from the locals: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/indiana-sign-in.17294/

 

Awesome, thanks, I'll cross-post.

 

Interlaken State off road park, east of Evansville. Most of it is pretty mild, with some tougher stuff ... a good "entry level" place to play. Just just off I-64, near Booneville.

Also, Dirty Turtle ORP. , in Kentucky , across the mighty Ohio River from Madison Indiana

 

Badlands easy trail will cause a whole bunch of scratches/ pin striping. We just took my son's stock cherokee through there. Redbird SRA kinda the same deal your going to get scratches. A nice family wheeling trip I'd suggest silverlake dunes in MI. There are nice camp grounds,beaches,shoping,and an amusement park in case the family hates it. Make an extended weekend out of it and you'll have some fun.
