I joined up at Tower City a few weeks back. From what I saw the trails are pretty difficult. My son and I rode for about 3 hours and we were told that we only saw 1/8 of the place. There are play areas with hill climbs, a few wide open areas, and tons of trails. The place is huge. I believe you have to ride as a guest if you are not a member. Here is the web site.

I live in towercity.....there are some cool things to do but there really is more trails than anything but the hill climb are nice size....If you follow 81 up and get off on exit 107 ther shoudl be a race track on the left and a mountain right you can go to the track or follow the mountain all the way up over and go into tower city or go into good spring to trail riders.

From Philly, you are looking at a 2 hour 15 minute drive to 2 hours and 45 minutes. Worth the drive!!!!!

BTW, be prepared for some rocks..... They have plenty of them there. If you have your atv set stock, you will be fine. I would not recommend running smaller diameter tires there, and I would make sure your skid plate is on and in tack.

Have fun Saturday!!!!

Note: If you go with a group, it may get a little dusty, I wear a bandana over my nose and mouth for those occasions.

Derno, go to this link and post a message requesting that someone meet you there. From what I hear many members are willing to show you around as a guest.
