Does anyone in the region have any suggestions on where one might go to do some soft off-roading? Looking for gravel/dirt roads that are relatively smooth and passable with the stock tires.

How far are you from Broadway, Va.? By Brother and I led a small group of Subaru's on some forest trails, just west of there, earlier this year. More specifically just west of Fulks Run Va. You could come down on either I-81 or route 259. It's also possible to get there coming down through WV on Rt 3 but if that seems best to you let me know and I'll give you more specific instructions, on how to head east from Rt 3. Also, if you come down 3, I found WV 151 to be a easy and fun trail, with a few minor creek crossings and a few good places to camp.
If headed west from Fulks Run German River road, is good and leads to both Long Run Road and Rough Run Road but both of them are more challenging and I advise some combination of a Lift/skid plates or 245/65/17 tires, pick any two.
I plan on, organizing and leading a group of sports, on some of these roads, in mid to late October. Let me know if you are interested. Probably be 2 days with the option to do either day or both and to camp or not. Brandywine motel, in Brandywine WV is cheap and not bad. I'll be recommending people either have a Badlands or at least 2 of the 3 mods I mentioned, for day one and all 3 or a Badlands with at least 235/65/17 AT tires, for day two.

Thanks for the info! I know right where Broadway is. I used to live in Blacksburg. Unfortunately, I just ordered my '23 Big Bend last month, so I'm not going anywhere, anytime soon. I'm hoping to find some more local "under the radar" type places, that I can hit the day I drive it off the dealer's lot! A trip to VA would be great, but I won't have any of the mods that you mentioned. At least not right away.

I'd say look for local jeep forums. Probably have some routes with longstanding adventure. Jeepers are different but well organized and they've been at it for a while. Might be the best way to find good clandestine fire roads etc.

My h
usband and I took dual sport bikes in PA’s Poe Paddy State Park and Bald Eagle State Forest. Absolutely beautiful! Ran into a few Wranglers but no Broncos. Saw some really nice camping spots in Bald Eagle State Forest too if that’s in your plan. A beautiful view along route.
