AFAIK most recumbents are not well suited to off road - at least I personally find it hard to balance on a loose surface. Packed trail fine, gravel or sand is a no go..
I ride an Actionbent TidalWave 3, it's a lot of fun. They do some other models that are quite reasonably priced, if you wanted to experiment.. I actually thought of doing something similar a while back, but find I can fit everything I need in panniers and can't justify the cost of an Xtracycle.
Well, I wouldn't be doing much trail riding if it was to come to a recumbent, save for the odd packed trail around campgrounds and such.
On the Recumbent, with the way that the tongue needs to rest on the chainstay bridge, the chainstays would need to be pretty horizontal.
