I've only explored Poe Paddy Drive, Strings Mountain Rd, and Treaster Valley Rd. We came in from Millhiem and ended in Glen Iron, We stopped at the overlooks on Poe Paddy into the state park then went out the dirt rd to Strongs Mountain Rd. We called it when we hit Treaster Valley Rd and headed back to camp at Bald Eagle State Park.

Philadelphia Pa here.
Finally got a vehicle for off roading and would love to check out bald eagle and other places for some nice overlanding and camping. My schedules always in rotation but with enough planning I’m down for a trip.7DF1A602-9935-4711-A1CC-EB2EB410DE28.jpeg

Just a reminder but if anyone is planning anything in a Pennsylvania State Forest or Park you will have to keep the number of people under 10 or you will need a Letter of Authorization from DCNR for the group. If you proceed without one and they stop you there will be fines.

Thanks for the heads up on the group size! I also camping in the State Forrest is free but you need to do the registration for the Forrest district that you will be in. There is also a group size limit for camping as well but don't remember the exact number right now.
 
I’ll look into all that at some point. My plan is for the beginning of summer or spring maybe so I have time to plan(for myself anyway).

I’ve done other car club meet ups in the past and not too many people turn up...so I doubt we’ll have issues with numbers.

I have been planning a route for BESF & RothRock SF but need to connect them some how. I have traveled pert of the route and it was fun but one one or two easy technical sections. Also have a route planed for Michaux SF that I have done part of. I am usually with my son which limits my time on the trail some but I like having him out there with me. Maybe we could collaborate and put sometime together, I have been trying to meet other overlanders/off road enthusiast. I am new to most of this, have a lot to learn and it is hard to take risk to learn from when you are out there all by yourself.

Hey everybody, we have officially landed in Mechanicsburg PA. Looking forward to meeting everyone up here and hitting the trails. I chatted with the folks at Appalachian Brewing Company and they have the indoor space and the parking lot to support a Rally Point. Anyone interested in that? It’s pretty central in the state.

We are definitely up for some trips to BaldEagle and wherever else too.

I think if we would plan something somewhere we should get the authorization just to be safe then we dont have to wait last minute to get it.

So, you got me thinking. Sometimes when you wander you never really care where you are, just that you are somewhere.

Well,this explains why I felt like I knew Rothrock, just didn't get the name. Well, I have been all over it in various forms over the last 20 years.

And then you got me thinking...they are right next to each other...kinda split at the end of Rothrock and the Begining of Bald Eagle by route 322.

So, onto this adventure. Thank you for making me think.

This is gonna be fun when the planning is done and the truck is in the forest.
