I don't know about in IL., but here in OH. all National Forests that have off-road trails allow ATVs and bikes. As do our State Forests. Might be worth looking into. Since you live in a left-wing oriented state, especially the northern areas, and leftist seem to be opposed to all off-roading, it might also be worth looking into, as a vacation trip, to go elsewhere to ride together. WV and KY come to mind right off the bat. I do believe they also allow dual mode off-roading in most areas, and have a growing system of trails.
In fact, they are the only areas in the eastern US that I know of that sound like they fit all of your requirements. Would be well worth the trip. A couple weeks on the Hatfield-McCoy trails in WV would make you a true believer in the state slogan, Wild and Wonderful.
I could be wrong, but from what I have heard and read, IL is not an off-road friendly state.
