Hey folks... I won't even try to take credit for this, but I've had this info in my "favorites" for a long time.. I figured I'd share.. I make no claims to how accurate any of these are, but the doze...

OK, here's some for the "Athens District" of the Wayne National Forest in SE Ohio. Great riding area for trail riders, not much sand. This is the turn-off point that will get you back to the 5 parking areas (P1 to P5) in the Dorr Run area, and the coords to the parking areas:
turn-off from Hwy 33: 39 28.280N x 82 18.84W
P1 parking: 39 28.690N x 82 18.626W
P2 parking: 39 28.966N x 82 17.550W
P3 parking: 39 28.935N x 82 17.166W
P4 parking: 39 29.140N x 82 17.505W
P5 parking: 39 29.662N x 82 16.888W
The P5 parking area is the best place for camping. It's all dirt/gravel narrow road after hitting the P1 parking area. P5 is exactly 3 miles off Hwy 33.
Monday Creek trailhead: 39 29.515N x 82 12.764W
New Straitsville trailhead: 39 34.325N x 82 14.657W
Both of these are right off a paved road.
There is also a Long Ridge trailhead in the Athens District, but I don't have coords to it. The turn-off is north of Buchtel, Ohio, west from Hwy 78, and is a narrow dirt/gravel road that goes up the hillside for about 1.5 mile.

There are also two other areas in the "Marietta District" in the Wayne NF with ATV trails, they are way to the south and I haven't been to those yet.
