I go to OK4WD they are awesome I like about a hour from them, there is so much to do on the Delaware River take a look into it.Hi everyone, I am going to be there and heading down through New York State From Ontario, Canada. I will be heading to OK4WD to see what they can do for my rig. Anyone going to be in the area - OK4WD – OE, 4x4, and Performance Specialist for Cars, Jeeps, Trucks, and SUV’s!. Also looking for camping spots on my way down from Alexandria Bay, NY to OK4WD and also on the way to Overland Expo East in West Virginia. I look forward to meeting the OB community. Best wishes Amanda

Hi Amanda. Pennsylvania is a big state! If you're traveling down I-81, there isn't a whole lot near the highway. At least in the south end of the state.Hi Mike - @JeepingMike, Thanks for the Like, I am excited to be travelling to the Expo and also to me able to see and explore PA your home turf! Do you have any recommendations for camping spots and easy trails, my rig is still being built and has only the stock GM suspension, plus my camper on the bed, so no rock climbing for me :-)
To everyone else heading to the expo, does anyone else wish to meet pre expo?

Hi Mike,Hi Amanda. Pennsylvania is a big state! If you're traveling down I-81, there isn't a whole lot near the highway. At least in the south end of the state.
A bit north/northwest of Harrisburg is Bald Eagle State Forest, which has quite a bit. Take a look through https://www.overlandbound.com/forums/threads/pennsylvania-bald-eagle-state-forest.22173/ for lots of info, and I think some tracks posted by @DevilDodge .
Down here closer to Maryland is Michaux State Forest, with some trails and as I understand it has no remote camping.
Keep in mind that it is hunting season here, so some roads are open only for that purpose, and hunters are taking over the forests. Also, due to the hurricane remnants and other weather, it will be very muddy and potentially challenging in a different way for a full size rig.
Safe travels! If I can be of further assistance, please reach out. DevilDodge is an outstanding resource for PA also. I look forward to meeting you on Saturday.

OK4WD is a great place! I've ordered a lot from them, but never had them do any work as i do most of it myself, but they are very helpful and enjoy chatting about 4X4 and overlanding.Hi Mike - @JeepingMike, Thanks for the Like, I am excited to be travelling to the Expo and also to me able to see and explore PA your home turf!

Hi Steven,OK4WD is a great place! I've ordered a lot from them, but never had them do any work as i do most of it myself, but they are very helpful and enjoy chatting about 4X4 and overlanding.
I would recommend chatting with Joseph, he's one of the sales agents. (At least that's what I remember his name being.)
Delaware Water Gap is a great place to look around, while there are some rocky forest roads to drive on, not many "trails" around like you would think in Moab or the other wonders of the western US. But plenty of fun by the river, some water falls, and great hiking trails around.
