Переглядів 188Місяць тому
The second day along the regional connector trail took us north to Genesse. We explored several areas, including crossing over the PA/NY border. Then, we made our way back down through Coudersport and ended in the Susquehannock ATV Trail system.

Our first time riding the Northcentral Regional ATV Trail in Potter and Tioga counties. We rode over 90 miles today, visited the PA Grand Canyon, and rode out to Lyman Run State Park. Absolutely incredible views and amazing riding. This connector trail connects 3 state forest ATV trail systems and provides over 600 miles of riding. What a dream!
Sideling Hill | June 2024

Today we finally got to meet up with our new friends Dave and Jeanette to ride for the first time. We spent the day at Sideling Hill ATV Trails in Wells Tannery, PA. We really enjoyed the day and the weather was beautiful. The trail system is 15 miles of forest roads and wooded trails. Don't let that fool you - it's still a full day of riding. We had a nice stop for lunch and even got to test d...

Miles and miles of trail and township roads are available for riding, all with beautiful and scenic views.

June 2024 trip out to Snow Shoe Rails to Trails. This is Day 1 of 2 where we rode the trail and numerous township and forest roads across the region. On this day, we rode the entire SSRT trail east of the viaduct, but also took a trip out towards BLACK MOSHANNON STATE PARK where there is a vast network of ATV-legal roads. This area connects you to picnic areas and also gives you a workaround to...
Martin Hill | June 2024

We're back at Martin Hill for the first time in 2024. Beautiful day of riding with just a few hiccups along the trail, including some rocky, washout areas that forced us to turn around a couple times. While DCNR is clearly doing some nice maintenance on sections of the trail, other sections still definitely need some work! Despite - we still enjoyed the ride!
Tug Hill ATV Trip | Rector, Barnes Corner, New Boston, NY

Our second day on the Tug Hill took us from Rector to Barnes Corner and through New Boston, NY. It was a beautiful ride through the county with really great seasonal roads that took us through various small towns. The video does not do the beauty of the countryside justice! I could live here for sure! Today we did about 60 miles for a 2-day total of about 130 miles!
Tug Hill ATV Trip | Turin, Rector, Montague, NY

Day 1 riding across the Tug Hill. Left Turin, NY and rode the trails and seasonal roads to Rector and eventually Montague. Beautiful ride through wind farm country! We absolutely loved it here. Day two proved even better! Would like to return and even do some snowmobiling in the winter.
SSRT | Day 2
Переглядів 1765 місяців тому
On the second day at SSRT, we took the connector trail to Sproul State Forest to ride the ATV trails there. We arrived, but with the ride out being longer than expected, we did not stay long before we took a different route back home. The ride along the mountain roads and pipe-lines were just as enjoyable as the ride along the actual trails. Beautiful scenery with much to see! We can't wait to ...

Overview of Day 1 at SSRT | Snow Shoe Rails to Trails. During day one, we explored the rail trail from Clarence to the viaduct over Mashannon Creek. Very much enjoyed this trail and the beautiful surroundings. On day 2 we head out across the mountain roads to Bloody Skillet ATV trail. As enjoyable as this day was, day two was even better! #SnowShoe #ATV #Trails #SSRT #PA #Polaris #CanAm Music f...
February Michaux Ride
Переглядів 1446 місяців тому
Spent a few hours at Michaux today. Lots of people getting out enjoying the warmer weather. Trails were generally in good condition, not too much dust either. One trail had a large tree down that we could not get around. We didn't have a saw so we had to turn around. Other than that, a great time on the trails.
Trying out the new plow!

Just a couple inches of snow here in Virginia, but trying out the new snow plow on the 570 after just sitting in the garage for the last two years 😂 ... finally! It works great - now bring on the BLIZZARD!
Michaux in the Snow - January 7th

There is a saying back home, "It always snows on Orthodox Christmas!" ❄️🎄 Yet again, it did! Headed up to the mountains to enjoy a ride in the snow. Freezing rain last night and temperatures near 40º by the end of the ride made for some HEAVY, slushy snow. But, still a nice 4-6" across the ridge with lots of dripping ice from the trees.
Ready to plow some driveways and sidewalks this year! Bring on the snow! ❄️

I need to take some time to come back and ride it again …
Amazing video are you aware of any campsites with trail access you recommend
Thank you! It's a beautiful place for sure. There were quite a few, yes... although I can't remember many of them. We drove by many. I know there is one in Gaines, Route 6 Campground. There are also many in Lyman Run State Park. Contacting DCNR at the Susquehannock State Forest office might prove helpful.
Great videos buddy the long trip you guys did that would have been great if you could have shown more of the ride and longer video that would definitely get a lot of views my friend 100 percent if longer and show more of the riding without music playing
I live near Tioga county right on pa&ny boarders the trails that you had video of in last video do they have anyone that could meet up with another family and your guide or someone that could show us the way it would be greatly appreciated any information
Lucky to live up in those parts! What a nice area. Do you have the Polaris Ride Command app? Shows all the trails and was really helpful for us to figure out where to go.
Mark, your video is very well done and very informative
thank you! .. I think you guys would really love it up here. I was also super impressed with the Susquehannock ATV Trail system. Most maintained trails I've seen. You'll see more of the system in our Day 2 video!
@@hdvidclips looking forward to day two
Great video & awesome scenery.
thank you so much! we had an incredible time and the video does not even begin to highlight just how beautiful this area is... we are already making pan to return!
I am staying in that same cabin here in a few days! was the side trail out to the main trail labeled? how did you figure it out when you arrived? Thanks!
Awesome! - our place in this video was right on the main trail - the intersection of Birch Run Road in Clarence. Are you referencing the wooden cabin we stayed in a few months ago in a different video?
The cat got your tongue
Great video and we really enjoyed meeting and riding with you and your family.
Us too! Could not have asked for a more beautiful day!
Well done video. I think I'm going there again this weekend. Last time I turned around after the mud holes so I want to go further down that way. I really like it there.
Hey Mark great video I really enjoyed riding with you and your family, looking forward to our next ride
Thanks, Dave! Had a great day - looking forward to the next ride, too!
@@hdvidclips for sure
Very nice video. I got my membership sticker in the mail for this year and plan on going there, for the first time before it gets cold out. I've been to Sideling Hill twice and Michaux once so far.
Thank you! SSRT is becoming one of our favorites! We just got back from Sideling Hill on Monday; beautiful trail system. It’s been a while since we’ve been there and we forgot how much we liked it! I wish they kept it open past September! It would make for some great fall and winter trails as well.
@@hdvidclips Yeah I agree, Sideling Hill would be awesome to ride in the fall when the leaves are changing. The pines down low like on Meredith trail and going up into the deciduous would be very nice that time of year.
@@TheCandBExperience that's literally one of my favorite parts of the trail - especially when the sun is peaking through the pines!
@@hdvidclips I agree.
Very nice video. I haven't been here yet but it's on my list to go ride.
Very well done video thanks for sharing
Thanks Dave! … going back up in October! Can’t wait 👍 Also we’re doing Sideling Hill next week (probably Monday) if it’s not 100° - let us know if you guys can join us!
Would be nice if Pennsylvania wasn’t 15 years behind on there trail systems , no reason these trails should have a 50 “ max width . I own a KRX1000 and I have to pay for the registration and plate when I bought it but there are literally 0 state park trail systems in Pa that allow 68” wide machines
Agree! Same with the closing dates - not sure why they insist on keeping so many state forests summer only trails. Allowing side by sides and extending the riding season to fall and winter where possible would be a huge benefit. I did see some areas, such as Potter, Elk, Clinton, Bradford counties etc. are really expanding their ATV-legal roads. Large network of riding areas that connect multiple state forests so hopefully that is a clue that things are moving in the right direction. When they see the need, maybe they will adjust to reach the demand for these things.
Great video Mark very informative, and thanks for letting the text on the screen for an old guy to have time to read it.
Thanks so much! Have you ever been over to that new section? ... and you're welcome for the text! :)
@@hdvidclips No we haven’t been on the new part yet.
Do you mean new section by myers rd under I 80?
Wow, that is too bad they didn’t take a little time for some maintaince they could have at least swept the rocks and mud off the new bridge. Great video and glad you had a great ride, and by the way we have used forest roads more than a few times when the situation called for it.
Great video! How does the power feel between the two? Very comparable?
surprisingly, yes. wife prefers the 700 because it's a pretty low center of gravity - she feels comfortable on it ... I prefer just about everything else on the Polaris. Ride and handle is certainly much more refined on the 570 and it's much more enjoyable to ride!
Cool video, did you need a special permit to ride the roads ?
no all the roads up there are what they call seasonal roads - open to ATVs with no permit required. Many are shared with snowmobiles during snow season. There's about 450 miles of roads open to ATVs. It's incredible. 84 miles of ATV / snowmobile wooded trails.
@@hdvidclips wow I guess NY has at least one good point.
@@rzrpap haha :) that and snowmobiling... but that's about the extent of it!
Cool video
Great video, love how you did the captions
Great video Mark very well done. It is a shame they closed the via duct SSRT had the arrangements made to put side on and Cornman shut it down anyway. We rode across it twice, we looked straight ahead. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks for posting.
Great video, hope to check it out soon. 🇺🇸
Not been here yet .I'm in NC.but I been to catfish and pond .I like that place and will try this place..👍
Hey Mark, we watched your video, what did you think about those blue trails? We were at Michaux on Tuesday nice day but very cold and windy when we were eating lunch up on Big Flat. Thanks for the video.
@rzrpap oh wow - let's hope they move more quickly with that than the grave ridge section that has been shut down for 4 years, "temporarily." I didn't realize they had plans to expand trails/bridges! Wonderful news. Interestingly, not sure if this is related, but if you leave Big Flat parking area and turn right down the mountain, on the right-hand side there are gates up and clearing being done. It certainly looks like they are making trails but that might be wishful thinking. On the main trails, they have been doing some visible minor work! I'd have to follow someone else down all the other blue trails because it's sometimes too much for just the wife and I alone. When it's just the two of us, sometimes we worry what happens if we get in a pickle, ya know? We cautiously explore blue trails :) And likewise, we'll give you a heads-up next time we head up maybe the timing will work out to meet and do some riding, too!
@@hdvidclips If you ever get into a situation up at Michaux we are 20 minutes away. If you are on Facebook I could message you my phone number, not sure how to do it on UA-cam without the world knowing. Not a big Facebook guy but if you like send a friend request. About the trail up dates hope they get done before I am too feeble to ride or dead. It is a shame about Graves Ridge trail it was supposed to be redone years ago after it was logged the time before. Anyway just glad they stay open for winter riding.
@@rzrpap Certainly a shame it's taking so long to get that section open. But yes, you're right. I'm just thankful they stay open and even expand trails for winter riding. Not many places to go this time of year. I REALLY wish they would open Sideling and Martin Hill up for winter riding. I love those trails and I can't imagine that snowmobiling is THAT popular out there with the lack of snow we have anymore. I have written DCNR several times about winter riding but nothing yet.
Looking good, makes snow removal fun.
Nice video wish we could have been there.
Would love to meet you guys on the trail some time!
@@hdvidclips we would love to meet up with you guys on the trail. We need to work on making it happen. We live like 20 minutes from Michauxs piney mountain trail head.
For sure! That would be wonderful! So glad that you guys are going to be able to get back out there soon! With many trails here in VA closed for winter, we end up at Michaux quite often in the winter months so we can easily coordinate something! @@rzrpap
@@hdvidclips That would be great, we can make it happen.
Looks like a nice plow set up, sure beats shoveling have fun and now just need some snow.
Awesome video, I went out to Michaux one time back in 2021, very nice trail. Earlier this year we were debating over these 2 very machines. We went with the Can Am, was wondering how you like the polaris??
Awesome bear
Mark just watched you new videos looks like they have been doing some work on the trails. Did you go over the three bridges and see the dynamite shed?
They certainly have! I’m not exactly sure what the end result will be and if this is only temporary for logging & timber, or if they actually plan on capitalizing on some expansion and new trail development? I did hear something about them receiving a grant, so that could mean more maintenance on the trails, and hopefully a few new trails. Looking at the map, I can see how they could easily transform this into a nice little looping trail. Believe it or not, we still have not gone past Wertz Road yet onto the second half of the trail system where the bridges are. The wife actually had hurt her ankle and was wearing a brace so we were trying to take it easy on this ride. When we got to Trail 5 the ride up the hill looked a little steep and tipy so we turned around there. Next time though! We hope to go back again before it closes this year.
Wow this looks like such a nice trail. Thanks for your details. Good video.
Hey Mark they are really nice machines. After watching your video Jeanette said since we are only 20 minutes from Michaux if we gets cool day she wants to go and see how she feels, it is close enough we only have a short ride home if she gets feeling bad. Thanks for asking about her.
Thanks! So glad you guys are getting back out there - I hope she feels great and has a wonderful time! Looking forward to seeing some more videos!
Great video, those turtles must live near that spot, very close to where we saw turtles last year. Glad you had a good ride.
It was very surprising to see them in that location; we couldn't see any large water area near by but there must be something down into the woods a bit to see more than one! We had a really nice ride and the weather could not have been better for July!
Hi
Nice I was there also at 12:30…A nice place to ride. I see they put up guard rails around the creek now. Any news if they are going to widen the trails? I keep hearing things..
Thanks for recording this update of work done. Looks like the closed off area to Graves Ridge is still closed. Shaking my head, time & money spent on keeping folks out instead of opening existing trails.
Nice trails!
This is our second time here and we really do enjoy this place; different kinds of trails from what we're used to.
Looks like a nice place to ride.
Great trail system! I'll be uploading quite a few from our trip on Saturday. Really enjoyed ourselves. Looking forward to heading up to SSRT in a couple weeks!
@@hdvidclips I think you will really like SSRT.
Thanks for sending me the video I am subscribed to your channel but I did not see on your channel.
Trails look great, and a nice bluebird day to top it off! 👌🏻
