I spent some time plotting a course with the Pine Creek map by purple lizard. Anyone not familiar with the area the map covers...it is the area that includes the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon. It is from Interstste 80 North to New York. As I was looking at it I noticed quite a few areas if...

Thought I would see where a discussion about the nuisances, dangers and beauty of Eastern American wildlife would take us. Ticks. Annoying and pretty much useless. Never saw one (except on a farm dog and deer) until 2006 when I went to Carman school for the railroad in Georgia. First one I ever...

I have a few threads already for trip planning. I started with a plan to see one of the most popular in PA (Bald Eagle) which grew to include an adjoining one (Rothrock). After researching Rothrock I realized that I have spent much time in State Forests in PA, but wasn't seeing the Forest for...

As we set out exploring and camping one of the things we like to find are firetowers. So, figured I would start a thread to see if any other East region members like to find them too. This one is on fire tower road in Blandburg, PA. My son and I like to hike the short trail up to it and...

I have been keeping track of people who have helped with or shown interest in my ramblings and in the Pennsylvania State Forests in genral. The 4 most popular Forests seem to be Bald Eagle Michaux Moshannan Rothrock The Allegheny National Forest is also popular...being in the Susquehannok...

Wandering if anyone attends. Last year was my first year and it is now a ritual that coincides with my decades long trek to Chrysler@Carlisle (they are the same weekend) It is more geared to just 4x4 vehicles...but there are some outfitters that seem to have knowledge of overlanding. My son...

https://www.dcnr.pa.gov/StateForests/FindAForest/Moshannon/Pages/default.aspx So, got the email sent to receive info about motorized camping here. This will also be on the list to explore. More info to come...if anyone has experience here please post.

I have a few threads for my trip planning, so figure it is time for a place to gather thoughts on the "build". 2015 RAM 2500. It is a Crew Cab with an 8 foot bed, so it definitely qualifies as full figured. Power comes to it from a 392 cubic inch HEMI. Of course they did away with the manual...

This will be the trip planning for a extended trip with overnight stays and daily exploring that will be an attempt to off pavement travel from the begining of one to the end of the other. Looks like it is possible according to the maps I have. Will need to get some tires in the mud to see for...

So, before I have been able to make my first planned trip, I got a curveball. So another member was asking how to connect BESF with Rothrock. Then i realized, hey, I could do this and incorporate one of my favorite state park campground, Trough Creek. Just emailed for the public uuse and...

We are planning an off pavement travel/dispersed camping trip to BESF this year. Nothing fancy with tents and stock trucks. We will be using our 2015 RAM 2500, BUT may also trek out with our 03 or 99 Dodge 2500s. We camp every weekend from start of fishing season in April til November in...

Good Evening. Glad to have finally joined after lurking for quite sometime. Came across the site after camping at Fowler's Hollow State Park and learning about dispersed camping being allowed on State Forest land. Did a search for Bald Eagle State Forest and showed up here and figured this...
