It could be. In cases where a state's laws doesn't specifically cover this, it could be used to constitute an engangerment and/or reckless driving charge. Additionally, you could be held liable to any damage caused by your vehicle to the property you crossed onto.
Not to mention it's not a very wise thing to do, as your vehicle is going to react to the sudden emergence onto a different type of surface. If the ground is soft, it could cause your vehicle to pull further off the road, resulting in you losing control of the vehicle. Hitting loose sand at traveling speed can have a similar effect. There's always also the possibility of you hitting a small trench which you couldn't see from the road because it was overgrown.
