Just wondering if there was any central pa riders in here? I ride with a bunch of guys in trevorton pa and we have a blast. With everything closing now, I could give pics and directions on how to get there. The one guy who goes there religiously has 84 mi. of trails on his gps, plus coal mountains to hill climb if that is your thing.

I live in Duncannon, which is 13mi. north of harrisburg. I have a little land to ride on, but mostly go up north to ride. I put a link from an article in offroaders.com that shows the coal piles that we ride on. there are many miles of trails that are not shown.

Directions please. Do you know who owns the land? Any problems riding there?

On route 225 1/2 mile south of the town of Trevorton there is a old coal breaker (huge coal mtns.) entrance. Just follow the road around top to the left and that is where most people drop their trailers. There is always people there on the weekends, just stop and ask. I have yet to run into anyone there unfriendly. The last I found out, the property is owned by a big coal company and they have abandoned it many years ago. Some of the old heads have been going there for 20+ years. I have a new truck and leave the keys in it. Never had any issue with theft, vandalism etc. It is a great place to ride, just bring soap and a towel. The quarry water is extremely cold, but it beats being crusted over with coal.

When this cold snap breaks, we will be going up, but not for the whole weekend. If you can make it to Duncannon, I am sure we can find a place for you on a trailer. Its 40-50 mi. one way, and with the price of gas now, we try and take as few of vehicles as possible. 4 of the guys run up there from Gettysburg, which is 100 mi. If I can get the 32' gooseneck I've been eyeballing, we might load the trucks and all up! ;) Just let me know, it is great to get more people involved.
