I recently ran the trails this past august ( 04 ) in wellsville and loved it. These trails had everying, steep climbs, rocks, mud, dirt, tight trails, wide trails and senic easy trails. The trail are open year round with near by towns for fuel and food. While you pay for to wheel on the land, you are actually buying a camp site. All camping is rustic. We choose to camp at the full service Lock 30 camp gound in Lisben. This campground is abou 20 minutes away from the Forbidden Zone campgound trail head. Below are links to some pics of our trip.
If you ever need a guide, I'm always looking for an excuse to go back !!!

Take Rt. 11 South until just past Lisbon, and there it turns into 30 South (East).
Take 30 to East Liverpool and jump onto Rt 7 west, and follow along the Ohio River.
