BTW - stay away from the larger Korean made bikes... a friend of mine tried to save a few bucks and even though it is put together OK it is one of the most unstable-ist POS I have ever seen.

The mini's are OK - 50cc and lower as a starter, but the larger 150+ cc bikes are really stiff and unstable.

As for atv trail riding around here in southern MD .. it's mostly somebody's private property (farm or wooded).. I wouldn't suggest powerline riding and I know some people would say "everybody does it down here". If you don't want to be a law abiding citizen, then go riding on the powerline without your kid. FYI, There are private properties that powerline goes through so think twice. I have read from many atv forums that it's okay to ride on powerlines up in northern MD somewhere near Frederick. I haven't check out the laws for that area up there.

There are many atv trails up in PA, WV and VA.
Few MD state parks do allow atv trails.
more info here -> MD DNR Public Lands: Off-Road Vehicle Use on Public Lands
As far as power line riding - in Charles County they can (and most of the times will) seize your ATV... in SOMD, the power lines are SMECO property and they are not tolerable of ATV's

In Western Maryland (especially PA) it is more accetable and tolerated because of the type of people - it is really a way of life.

My son and I go 2x a year to PA to ride, and we do a minimum of 50 miles a day...
