    The .gov means its official.

    Local, state, and federal government websites often end in .gov. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania government websites and email systems use "pennsylvania.gov" or "pa.gov" at the end of the address. Before sharing sensitive or personal information, make sure you're on an official state website. 

    Rothrock State Forest has become a premier mountain biking area in the state, containing a combined 290 miles of trails and state forest roads open for this use.

    Trail riding ranges in difficulty from easy to extreme -- from gently sloping forest and logging roads to rocky ridgetop trails and steep side-hill climbs.

    Several organized rides are held each year.
