I don't think a recumbent is ideal for off road stuff. I think you might want to look into a flat bar gravel bike. There are about a zillion different "gravel" bikes on the market but you can...

Here is what I ride. Typical late 80s MTB, fitted with touring bars. A strong welded steel frame. The wheelbase isn’t particularly short, and I like that. The touring bars allow a very good reach...
