Any trail rides in PA

[ExplorerOfDaMud]

Hey is there any trail rides in pa anywhere or anywhere around pa like ohio, virginia.....

Plenty of wheelin in eastern PA, Paragon Adventure park and Rausch Creek are 2 popular places. ECX does runs about once a month they got thier own subforum on here you can check out.

Depends where in PA. I go to Wellsville in eastern Ohio a couple times a year, it's just over the border, but I live real in western PA not far away. There's a big off-road park there just off either Rt. 39 or Rt. 7.

[JohnnyO]

Technically I live in Rochester but nobody's ever heard of it, so usually I just say Pittsburgh.

Its less than a 4 hour drive out there and its a blast.

I'll most likely be going, so if you want to follow me out, your more than welcome. But they're planning on hitting trails that will be to difficult for a stock Explorer.

I'm not sure what all you'll need I'm not really into offroading that much! Heh, I'm going to pick up my 18s tomorrow . If you talk to Blee he'll enlighten you to what all you'll need.

 

[Blee1099]

all you need is a front tow point. A CB radio would be good to but not necessary. I would recommend one though so you can communicate with the rest of the group.

lol what so someone can pull me out lol how bad are the trails that your goin to and is there any like beginer trails i can go to to try my rig out to see how it does cause iv never taken it on a long ride like on troy hill iv done some trails to see how it rides thats bout it so far iv taken other trucks and stuff offroad so im not a beginner at offroading id like to just take mine out sometime somewhere on a trail that i can test it on witch is probly smart to do

 

[Blee1099]

There are plenty of green bypasses on the trails for you to take if needed..

 

[ExplorerOfDaMud]

and for the tow point what should i use i was gonna install some hooks on the front for towing is that what your talking about

 

[Blee1099]

Yeah go with some form of hooks or D-rings that are frame mounted.

 

[ExplorerOfDaMud]

is there anywhere that theres a list of the trials around so i can find some close to me?

I've heard of rochester, I'm about ten minutes away i live in brighton township. Actually i use to live there, i lived on webster street, I also lived in Rochester twp when i was younger

 

[Blee1099]

There are some trails in Connlesville, PA.. Not sure how close that is to you but I believe they are privately owned. Best thing to do is look on the some of the other forums in PA. There are a bunch out there. Just to name a few off the top of my head. Keystone Krawlers and the Blue Mountain Jeeps Association

 

[ExplorerOfDaMud]

im not to far from there thanks

 

[leebo]

Like JonnyO said, Yellow Creek(wellsville) is a great place to go and have some fun. I'm from a town just south of Steubenville Ohio and I've been up that way a few times. The places I went to there's really no marked trails, just go and have some fun.

Man I wish my tranny didn't suck, I could use some trails right now.

 

[ExplorerOfDaMud]

lol my rigs down for awhile as too trails i gotta get some things fixed on it like the 4x4 and the gas gauge, back hatch, front bumper, along with some other things
