Are there any of these dirt roads/trails within 100 miles of the Metroplex? I've tried googling, but it seems when ya google "trail" it only coughs up 'walking/hiking' trails in state parks and the like...and places where ya have to pay to ride.

You can go 230 miles up to the mountains in south eastern OK. around Smithville./Mena Ar. Great logging trails that extend from OK into Ark.

Logging trails, maybe not. But down in the Glen Rose area there are quite a few county roads that are dirt, gravel, and a mix of other textures.

We stay at the a to z guest ranch in Smithville, a real nice couple own the place. Check out their web site for more info and pic's

The Grasslands north of Decatur has some nice gravel and good scenery.

Linky (http://www.fs.fed.us/r8/texas/mvum/mvum_maps/texas-nf_lbj_mvum_053008_d-size.pdf)to Forest Service map.

Note, the narrow solid gray lines are paved roads while the larger hollow double lines are the gravel. Seems backwards to me, but oh well.
