your best bet is rausch creek in tremont PA, legal its like $30 to wheel for the day, tons of trails

killer248 · 12-25-2008, 01:55 PM

i've heard of that place. if you've been there, what do u think of it?

Irongrave · 12-25-2008, 02:37 PM

i personlly really like it, 1 because its legal and 2 because there is a nice mix of trails from simple to stupid hard, when you go all you need is a second truck they dont let you wheel alone. There is also some pass to wheel on coal company property but dont know the details on that

X2. Best legal wheeling you're going to find locally.

You can cross into Jersey and visit Wharton State Park. I am sure you have friends who visit Atco Dragway, Wharton's offices are about 5 minutes from there. Legal trail/mud pit riding and they will even give you a trail map when you check in.

Is this the Pine Barrens. i've heard about this place but i'm not really familiar with it or where its at.

NJSPEEDER · 12-28-2008, 01:23 AM

Some of it. The Pine Barrens is really the entire south Jersey area that doesn't support much more than pine trees. Has to do with the acidic and sandy soil conditions.

The Atison Ranger Station in the Wharton State Forest is a common starting point for trail riding in the south Jersey pines. Do a google maps search and you can see where it is. You can cross into NJ from 73 or 38 and get there very easily, 73 is loaded with construction and traffic so be patient or plan to travel off hours.

Yeah...that's the Reading Anthracite Company and I believe the land is in Pottsville, PA. $100 for an annual pass and the number of passes distributed annualy is limited. Also - no one under 12 years old is allowed in the vehicle if that matters to you.

DrGonzo · 01-20-2009, 08:17 PM

Yeah for the Value Reading Anthracite is the best value, its $100 for the year and they have 22000 acres.

Hey everyone, Im from the area and have been looking for spots as well. Im headed out to Pottsville on Thursday to get a permit for RA. I figure $100 is a pretty good price.
