Preferred app for finding open trails?

[Stutz 40]

I often struggle to find places to ride, so I figured I'd ask what other people use for navigation.  I spent years on a Mountain Bike, and those you can ride nearly anywhere there is dirt, plus working in a bike shop I have a lot of frinds that will show me good places.  I've found that with a motor it is a LOT harder, and sometimes I look something up online and find it closed when I get there (I was trying to find a trail off of Proctor Valley Road) 

 

• I've been trying Alltrails online, that is pretty good, but it shows a lot of stuff that is out of range for my old bike, I don't take it on a truck, just ride to the trail.  Otay Mountain Truck Trail is a good one, there's a gate, but it can be opened, and even when it has been locked, there's a combo I can get from the Ranger station.  What's the best way to find stuff?

Keep hanging out here and meeting others to ride with and show you around. I plan on putting on more local rides and show new people the trails in a couple of months. Right now I will be out of commission due to eye surgery with no riding for about 2 months.

I'm doing the noob ride to meet some folks, looking forward to it.

I use Onx offroad on my phone and have had pretty good luck getting around in SD county back roads. It did show some locked state/county gates.

But you are always at risk of hitting a locked gate somewjere sometime someday. Welcome to CA.

Thanks, I might try the trial to see how I like it.  I have a free Rever account but haven't used it.  

Shocking that stuff you have to pay for is better.
