You must be near Hartford or New Haven. The Litchfield hills are loaded with dirt roads and I'm pretty sure that the Northeast corner is similar.

When I bought my DRZ last year, I stop at a bunch of town halls and grabbed local maps. Then all you have to do is fill in the dotted lines. I rode hundreds of miles on dirt last year and I don't think I even left the state.

Read in the news today that there are 17 miles of state owned dirt roads in Lexington County, SC. Not county roads, dirt state roads in one of the counties that are adjacent to the state capitol of one of the original 13 colonies...

Starksboro, Vermont. .9 miles of paved road. That's right, less than a mile. And no traffic lights, not even a blinking red. 1 mile to my house up hill at a thousand feet all dirt and gravel.

My hometown in KY is the county seat, holds the county high school, & county courthouse. There is 1 stop light.

Nobel, ontario outside of the town there are a few that a subaru would be ascared of, mix of what was leftover from blastings.

Ocala National forest, FL has quite a few nice access roads, sandy clay.

I think Nevada still has more dirt than paved roads, but a fair amount of those in the back country require a proper 4x4.

On the site www.avdrider.com, I think there is a route from coast to coast that is all public dirt road.

lots of gravel roads around here. sometimes I will hit a few of them on the way to or from work if I want to feel like a rally driver. but they can be avoided by using more "main" roads.

I think I read that there were only 14 miles of unpaved highway left in Ohio, there is none in my county.

I lived in southern Iowa; northern Missouri for some years growing up and there were far more unpaved roads than paved. My dads family home is on a dirt level C road with no maintenance and that only 60 miles from Des Moines. The old Power Wagon was a blast out there!

Yep, and if you're from coastal SC, a lot of them look like this.

And every once in a great while, they look like this.

I do love a good dirt road.

I even went as far to look up local off-road forums to see if there was any roads on Long Island. I belive the way they phrased it was "There is no legal way to drive off pavement" other than a few licensed parks. Bummer.

There are dirt city streets in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Lots of dirt roads in the surrounding countryside.

The trans-america trail. It is public, technically. Calling much of it a dirt road would be a stretch. Some day, I'd like to try it, with either the XL500, or the CD175.

We've a few dirt roads around here. Generally well groomed and boring. Though there are a few that have some interesting brief stretches.

Bing will show paved vs unpaved by color. Dirt is a light tan.
