About OC4Play
Welcome to our off-roading family! To share a bit of history, Orange County 4-Play (OC4-Play) is one of the oldest and longest-running off-road enthusiast clubs in Southern California. Established in 1986 by a group of like-minded individuals, Orange County 4-Play is a family-oriented club dedicated to exploring the back roads, trails, and off-the-beaten paths of California and beyond. We have broadened our original charter from strictly off-road events to also include expedition camping, geo-cache adventures, and discovering open-use areas and parks. We pride ourselves on fostering a friendly environment where we support one another both in and outside of club functions.
As a proud member of CAL4WHEEL (California 4WD Association | https://cal4wheel.com), we actively work to keep our trails accessible against overzealous conservationism and governmental encroachment. By joining our OC4Play 4WD off-road club, part of your annual dues contributes to CAL4WHEEL, ensuring you also become a full member of that organization. Additionally, we participate in the San Bernardino Forest Service Adopt-A-Trail program (http://sbnf-adopt-a-trail.com) and proudly sponsor our own trail, known as White Mountain. At least twice a year, we head out to locations like 3N11 (Wright Mine), 3N11A (Wright Mine Saddle), and 3N17A (White Mountain) to remove fallen trees, debris, and trash, promoting a responsible

Once on the run with OC4Play, follow the direction of your run leader (aka. Trail Boss), respect the trail, take trash out with you, and do not consume alcohol before or during the run (including breaks).

Once on the run with OC4Play, follow the direction of your run leader (aka. Trail Boss), respect the trail, take trash out with you, and do not consume alcohol before or during the run (including breaks). As it may take more than 2 runs to decide to commit to this community, please limit uncommitted runs to 4 total. If you can't decide after 4 runs, then OC4Play is likely not the right fit for you. As we tend to favor moderate to more technical runs in this club, less experienced prospects should first take an off-road training course to learn not only about driving techniques, but also what gear you need to bring.
