Anthracite Outdoor Adventure Area

Anthracite Outdoor Adventure Area (AOAA) is an off-highway vehicle park located at 4100 State Route 125 in Coal Township, Pennsylvania, spanning approximately 7,500 acres of county-owned forest and reclaimed coal lands that were mined in the 1950s and later restored for recreational use. AOAA accommodates ATVs, UTVs, dirt bikes, and full-size four-wheel-drive vehicles across hundreds of miles of trails. The terrain reflects the park's anthracite coal region setting, with reclaimed mining landscapes, forested sections, and open riding areas. Formed in January 2013 to manage recreational riding on the property, AOAA offers day passes and annual memberships. On-site amenities include a pro shop, equipment rentals, a youth riding area, and guided rides for full-size vehicles. Driver training programs are available through an Off Road Consulting partnership. Waivers are required for all riders. The park has been cited as one of the top ten OHV destinations in the United States by national powersports publications.
