Who we are
Ohio River Four Wheelers (ORFW) believes in connecting with the great outdoors and sharing those experiences with others. We also believe that one of the best ways to do that is with the help of 4wd vehicle.
We connect with great outdoors by having monthly club meetings and trail rides that promote responsible, environmentally conscious off-roading in a family friendly environment. We have approximately 50 families that make up our membership. Trail rides take place on designated routes and trails while practicing Tread Lightly principles. ORFW, which is a non-profit was found in 1991, and we are open to any make and Model 4wd.
What we do
ORFW conducts weekend trail rides once a month except during the cold months of winter. We also ride over some holidays, and sometimes other weekends. Trail rides typically begin at 9:00AM on Saturday, and last all day with lunch eaten on the trail. During the summer months, some members also ride on Friday and Sunday.
​
ORFW members drive several makes and models of four-wheel drive vehicles including Jeeps, Toyotas, Fords, and others. We recognize that driver skill and vehicle capabilities are varied, and are accommodating to that fact. If you don't think your vehicle can conquer a particular obstacle - don't risk damage - go around it. There are almost always bypass trails. If you want to see what your vehicle can do, we are there with experienced advice and assistance. Where we go, we go as a group. No vehicle is ever left behind, even in the event of a breakdown.
​
If you have a 4 wheel drive vehicle that you have been wanting to take in the woods, or perhaps you have been off-roading already, but would like to hit some more challenging trails with friendly folks, then yes you can ride along! As a matter of fact, we require anyone who wants to join ORFW to ride along on at least one trail ride, and attend at least one meeting. It's free. All you need to do is cover your own expenses (gas, food, etc).
​
So, don't be shy, attend a meeting or a ride, we look forward to meeting you and learning your story. Head on over to our Facebook page and introduce yourself!
