    Stay Alert for ATVs on Roads

    Tiadaghton State Forest participates in the ATV Pilot program, which includes some PennDOT and township roads in addition to legal opportunities on state forest trails and roads.

    Motorists are advised to stay alert for ATVs, crossings, and signage.

    Please see the 2024 ATV Regional Trail Connector Pilot map to view the pilot route.

    Dust Advisory for Northcentral Regional ATV Trail (NRAT)

    Roads are 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 conditions improve.
    • Opt to ride only the state forest trail system.

    The NRAT is a partnership between local municipalities, PennDOT, and DCNR to make long distance riding opportunities available.

    It takes all of these partners to make these connections possible, so reducing impacts during these extreme conditions is very important to the long-term sustainability of the program.
