Stay Alert for ATVs on Roads
Tioga State Forest participates in the Northcentral Regional ATV Trail program, which includes some PennDOT and township roads in addition to designated opportunities on state forest trails and roads.
Motorists are advised to stay alert for all terrain vehicles, crossings, and signage.
Please see the Northcentral Regional ATV Trail GIS Map to view the route.
Dust Advisory for Northcentral Regional ATV Trail
Roads can be exceptionally dusty due to extremely dry conditions. To help minimize this issue, please consider these actions:
- Ride in small groups to keep dust down.
- If you are part of a large group, please consider postponing your ride until a later date.
- Opt to ride only the state forest trail system.
The Northcentral Regional ATV Trail is a partnership between local municipalities, PennDOT, and the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources to make long distance riding opportunities available.
It takes all of these partners to make these connections possible, so reducing impacts during extreme conditions is very important to the long-term sustainability of the program.
Bikes on the Pine Creek Rail Trail
E-bikes are permitted on the Pine Creek Rail Trail, provided they meet the specifications.
The Pine Creek Rail Trail is classified as a non-motorized trail.
The department’s e-bike policy prohibits using the electric motor (throttle) exclusively to move an e-bike without pedaling.
For more information, fact sheets, and safety tips, please see E-Bikes in Pennsylvania State Parks and Forests.
Don’t Move Firewood
To help protect the forest from invasive insects that can kill trees and devastate the ecosystem, please do not transport firewood over long distances. Firewood can harbor insects such as emerald ash borer.
Cut or purchase your firewood where you intend to burn it.
