This video just popped up on my feed and I’m glad it did!!! I’ve been living in PA for a little over 6 months. This is why I moved out of NY. Can’t wait to explore more of what this state has to offer. Thanks for the video!
The “hunting trails” you were on in Sproul State Forest were the Whiskey Springs ATV trails. You would not have gotten on to many of the trails there as they are only wide enough for a side x side. You could have gotten gas in the lil town of Cross Fork that im pretty sure you passed through to get to the top a the mountain where you turned onto Roush Rd. Or when you got out of the “hunting trails” you could have gone into the town of Renovo as well which is east of those trails. About 10 min once on hard road. 😁👍
Pa does have a lot. but most is closed to the public now. or just gets opened for the hunting season. As per a conservation officer. A good majority of the of the trails and land is closed due to NY and NJ city people come up for summer holidays leave and dump trash reck the trails and lands and the state employees have to clean it up. at the states expense. so, it screws the pa residents and the taxpayers. from access to the lands.. It also hurts people like Darkside off road and his friends from enjoying other states public lands.
@@DarksideOffRoad I need to check out some more of the PA state forests and ANF eventually, so far i have only been to Weiser, Rothrock and Bald Eagle. It's only slightly further to get to Monongahela or George Washington NF for me so I tend to make trips south. But if we get some decent snow I would like ride around and camp ANF in it!
I wish I could do this. I have a nice jeep and I know it can make it. I just don’t want to do it alone for the first time. Sadly I live in Ohio about 2 hours from ANF. I go to Tracey ridge all the time and ministers creek for backpacking trips but this is my dream. Keep uploading videos. Love them.
Great stuff Thanks for sharing your adventure I'm so reluctant to do many of these crossings for fear of getting stuck. I jeep alone.... YEAH with nobody else.... :) What heater are you using... I'd just pack extra blankets since I have the space in my jeep for them. You are CRAZY traveling with limited gas.... I wish they would keep the state lands opened for longer. There's areas over on the Eastern side of PA that I'd like to get into. Again... thanks for sharing -Matt-
Nice adventure and camp set up, it’s time for your friend to get a Bronco or a Jeep, even a stock Jeep could have made the awesome water crossing, still great video thanks
@DarksideOffRoad any place on the west side of the state you could recommend checking out the twin teirs is lacking on good trails. Also there is a group meeting in Greene this sat 10am corner of rt12 and 206

I love sproul st forest I just hate the law that pa passed a couple of years ago now you can only camp in designated spots and you have to pay when I first started going up to the forest you could camp where you wanted In any state forest now you can only do that in Allegheny national I wish there was someway we could start a petition against it and get it back the way it was they have to keep taking everything from us….great video I’ll be watching more

Awesome, ya I have to head to PA, WV, VA for all my fun. Nothing in NY really.
Thanks for a sunny lunch break on a cold, dark, wintry day!❤ & want to go there... when it's warm again!

Nice! Will have to remember that ✅
@@DarksideOffRoad lol. Hate to see you run out a gas. Lol
Thanks for keeping me entertained while I nurse 4 broken toes and a bruised foot.
You bet! Get better!
❤️ your camp set up sequence
Great video as always! love PA
Thanks! PA has so much to do 🤙
I love and live in Pennsylvania. There should be more roads to 4x4 and camp along the way. Much of the state is private property.
PA is gold compared to NY. Literally everything is locked down in our state. 🙁

Thanks for sharing some lesser traveled Pensylvania areas. We loved our one trip to the area and hope to go back again soon for more!
The PA Wilds are amazing 🫡
Love it! Another great video!
Thanks glad you liked it! 🤙
Awesome video. I'll have to check out a couple of these spots.
You guys need to try Lingham Lake trail and hydro lines. Madoc onterio
Looks like you were on some of the MABDR route(s). Nice to see that area without the leaves. Puts things into perspective. Beautiful areas.
It never disappoints!
Nice video. I will be adding this to my “to go places”.
There more than what we did too. Decent sized areas!
@@DarksideOffRoad I’m looking into it on onX.
Great stuff

I have a Vevor 5kwh diesel heater and plug it into my Bluetti EB70 works great.
Almost looks like winter here in pa.. lol 😆 we need snow to 4x4 in
Ugh for real. I have an ANF trip planned in a few weeks. Hoping for some snow to rip through and camp in!

Cool I've been to a few of them places
It’s a great area. Want to hit more of those hunting trails tho!

@@DustinRehkopf outside of Bald Eagle in Central PA, the northeast side of Allegheny National Forest is the next best true trail exploring.
You had steak
What did the other guy eat?
What is the best way to find the trail heads and get to these offroading trails ?
I have not done much in PA off roading except Rausch creek and Anthrocite (Both amazing!). Have you been to the NJ Pine Barrens?
Haven't made it to NJ yet. It's on the list thought 🤙
Are there any 4wd trails there?
Cinnamon bun camp style 😊

Got this fixed. Thanks for letting me know! The downside to building your own website is that it breaks sometimes lol

Anyway possible you could send me this route you took please
