Awesome. Glad you made it out and had a good trip. Man do I love Rothrock in the fall

Starting on 11/03/2022 the state forest motorized campsites will no longer be free. And any previous way you have secured a permit will be changed.

The seasonal roads have opened. Anxious to get back down to Tuscarora as this allows to make some loops, instead of the usual driving out and back down the same road. Hoping to also scout some hunting spots. Public land hunts are always fun...especially in a new area where someone may believe...

You are also correct. They do omit certain areas. But site 20 and 19 were an honest mistake. There are also a few roads that have different names than the signs and differ from GPS ALSO. I spend a lot of time with the maps.

They missed it. They inadvertantly marked 19 instead of 20 I talked to Mike about it. He is adjusting it on the next release. The area also has shut down site 14. So it will be off the next version too. I have a found a few mistakes on their maps. They are always thankful when they are...

Site 20 is a great area for sure

@Jon25 Here is where it is on the purple lizard map. They missed putting site 20 and site 19 has been abandoned. So it is not available to camp anymore. Also. Site 14 has apparently been over tool by squatters. So it is unavailable now also.

I am from Central PA too. Near Altoona. Right in between Moshannon and Rothrock SF. Welcome to the group. As you already know, I love to talk about Public Land and forests in PA.

@Jon25 Here is the shot. You can see the larger area in the other screen shots in this thread.

I would highly suggest getting the Tuscarora Purple Lizard map. There is no organized route through Tuscarora. And depending how many covered bridges you want to see...you could spend a good amount of time seeking them out. The bridges are clearly marked on the map. I do have a route from...

If you plan to spend a decent amount of time in PA, check out www.PurpleLizard.com They have very detailed maps for most all of the Pennsylvania State Forests and some in West Virginia. Tuscarora State Forest map has a lot of Covered Bridges and many dispersed campsites. Pine Creek map has...

So, I could go on for days about Pennsylvania. But, because I do not know how much time you really want to devote to here, I will start with some over all information for the area. Camping. Motorized camping in state forests. Free, but you need to reserve a permit. No amenities, sometimes a...

There sure are lots of covered bridges in Pennsylvania. And lots of awesome vistas to check out the fall foilage. When I get a chance, I will give some suggestions. Sounds like a great trip you are about to embark on.

I can help with some routes in Pennsylvania. And camping spots. Let me know if I can be of assistance.

Curious if anyone has any suggestions of restaurants, taverns, general stores, picnic areas, well you get the point...places to eat or get supplies amongst the PA forests. Obviously I know a few...just looking for others thoughts on local places to spend my food money.

One good thing. Atleast it being on the administrative road the hike will be easy. Think we will check it out next time we are there. Do you have a jogging stroller? That would be perfect for the roads with a 1.5 year old. Been out of the forest for less than half a day and already ready to...
