Tiadaghton State Forest ATV Trails
Tiadaghton State Forest in Lycoming and Clinton counties hosts approximately 50 miles of designated ATV trails through the Loyalsock Creek watershed and the surrounding ridge-and-valley terrain of north-central Pennsylvania: a region centered on the communities of Woolrich, Renovo, and Lock Haven in what the state broadly markets as the Pennsylvania Wilds. The Loyalsock Creek corridor gives the Tiadaghton trail system a landscape anchor: the creek and its tributaries have carved the deep ravines, stream-bottom corridors, and forested ridge faces that make north-central Pennsylvania ATV riding topographically rich relative to the flatter central and eastern Pennsylvania systems. Trails use existing forest roads and purpose-built single-track through mixed hardwood forest of oak, maple, cherry, and birch, passing through deep ravines, along stream corridors, and over forested ridges with the view opportunities that appear when trails climb to ridge top. ATVs and UTVs up to 50 inches wide and registered motorcycles are the permitted vehicle classes. A Pennsylvania Bureau of Forestry OHV permit is required; no per-day trail fee. The Tiadaghton system is part of the broader DCNR north-central Pennsylvania ATV trail corridor: connectivity with adjacent Moshannon and Bald Eagle state forest trail systems allows riders to extend beyond the 50-mile Tiadaghton network without a trailer move. Season runs April 1 through December 31 on designated trails. PA ATV registration required. Contact the Tiadaghton State Forest Service Center for conditions (570-327-3450).
