Local Overlanding: Is there a GPS App or website to locate dirt and minimal use roads?

[fredygump]

As the title states, are there any tools you use to find scenic or minimal use roads?

I live in Southern Minnesota. We don't have any proper offroading trails for full size vehicles. There are some ATV/ UTV trails, but they are mostly far away up north.

But we do have gravel roads. I've already found some interesting roads that I didn't know existed, but the trick is connecting the dots, linking gravel or dirt roads into a little adventure.

Is there a map or GPS app that can help with this?

I've always enjoyed finding technical driving roads out in the country, but I avoided unpaved roads since I was always driving a car, like my GTI. But now that I have the Tacoma, I'm interested in seeing how close I can get to an offroad adventure, but on local/ regional roads.

I use both Gaia and OnX. Each has its own place.

OnX user here, but be careful. Like all the mapping devices, it can take you down a trail you can't climb out of.
