My husband and I have a Pioneer 1000. We originally bought it as a work horse for our property, but have decided we wanted to take up trail riding as a hobby. As beginners, we are most interested in scenic trails. We are not opposed to getting muddy or wet, but I am opposed to being scared to death and am not ready for "extreme" off roading. Could anyone offer some suggestions for fun weekend trips (we are from Ohio and are willing to travel )that would offer great trails for our needs. We are looking for scenic rides, towns that are UTV friendly, and areas that have lodging options. Are travel options for a 3 day weekend would be Michigan, Kentucky, West Virginia, and or Tennesee. Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Greetings @ChristineE and welcome from Alabama.
You might want to check out the Pioneer Takeover info on HondaSxS forum page or follow this link
2018 PIONEER TAKEOVER - April 20 & 21 - Ride Royal Blue!
Like you and your husband, my wife and I have never done hobby trail riding, so this will be our first time with a group ride, and we're looking forward to the Takeover.
If you decide to go, you might want to contact @JACKAL - he is going to lead a group of P500's on Saturday avoiding Widowmaker. Here is his post 2018 Pioneer Takeover/ P500 Group Rides

WElcome to the club from Painesville. What part of Ohio are you in?
I camp with a group of people in Ashtabula and we regularly play on the powerlines or make the run to Jamestown.

We are from NW Ohio. Just trying to figure out areas to ride for beginners to get our feet wet.

Hi from SE Ohio. We are doing the same as you and your hubby. We've used the machines to tend to our property and they did great. We added a Pioneer 1000 to our stable and now want to get out and ride some trails.

Last month we went for a day trip to the hatfield an McCoy trails in southern WV. Had a great time and did not even scratch the surface of all the trails they have down there. Hope to make it to Rush Off Road Trails in KY this month, and then to Ride Royal Blue for the takeover in April.

Here are links to each of those places.
