Moshannon State Forest ATV Trails

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.

Rausch Creek Off-Road Park is a 3,000-acre four-wheel-drive facility located at 453 Molleystown Road in Pine Grove, Pennsylvania, accessible from Interstate 81 Exit 107. The park is reserved for trucks, Jeeps, and SUVs — quads, motorcycles, and side-by-sides are not permitted. All trail use requires a minimum group size of two vehicles. Trails are rated on a four-tier system: green (easy), blue (intermediate), black (hard), and red (extreme), with bypass options so mixed-ability groups can ride together. Trails are well-marked and available on the Maprika and OnX apps. The park operates Friday through Sunday year-round, with midweek visits available by reservation. Primitive camping is included with admission; amenities include fire rings and picnic tables, with firewood and ice available for purchase. RV and trailer parking is available on site. Day passes, annual memberships, and season passes are offered. Children 15 and under ride free.

Tiadaghton State Forest in Lycoming and Clinton counties hosts approximately 50 miles of designated ATV trails through the Loyalsock Creek watershed and the surrounding ridge-and-valley terrain of north-central Pennsylvania — a region centered on the communities of Woolrich, Renovo, and Lock Haven in what the state broadly markets as the Pennsylvania Wilds. The Loyalsock Creek corridor gives the Tiadaghton trail system a landscape anchor: the creek and its tributaries have carved the deep ravines, stream-bottom corridors, and forested ridge faces that make north-central Pennsylvania ATV riding topographically rich relative to the flatter central and eastern Pennsylvania systems. Trails use existing forest roads and purpose-built single-track through mixed hardwood forest of oak, maple, cherry, and birch, passing through deep ravines, along stream corridors, and over forested ridges with the view opportunities that appear when trails climb to ridge top. ATVs and UTVs up to 50 inches wide and registered motorcycles are the permitted vehicle classes. A Pennsylvania Bureau of Forestry OHV permit is required; no per-day trail fee. The Tiadaghton system is part of the broader DCNR north-central Pennsylvania ATV trail corridor: connectivity with adjacent Moshannon and Bald Eagle state forest trail systems allows riders to extend beyond the 50-mile Tiadaghton network without a trailer move. Season runs April 1 through December 31 on designated trails. PA ATV registration required. Contact the Tiadaghton State Forest Service Center for conditions (570-327-3450).
