Default Offroading in Pa

I live in eastern pa and so far the only offroading I get to do is through the corn fields we own but once crops go up I lose my offroad grounds. I know about rausch creek I've been there before but that stuff up there is a little to serious for my truck, my dads h1 went good up there but is there any basic trails up there I can get my truck trough? I don't want to abuse it it is a daily driver. Is there any other trails or secret spots?

Trevorton, Pa has a little bit of everything. They are making a offroad park in the area so I'm not sure how it's gonna effect to trails right now but they have everything from mild to wild. There's a hole out there that can swallow a duce and a half up. If you get a reading anthrocite permit you can use all of their property. It's like 125 for a year.

Yankee Lake in Ohio!!! I live 45mins south of Pittsburgh and it take me about 2 hours to get there. They have anything from mild to insane! They only are open in the warmer months but I would recommend checking out their website! http://www.trucknight.com/index.php

The new park is gonna be called AOAA. It was reading anthracite's property and now I guess the state it taking control of the park. ( hope they get their back pockets paid) this really sucks for the locals who rode these trails all their life and now we are gonna all have to pay. We used to go camping, Bon fires , target shoot but things are Gonna be different up there. No more night time riding. All the sudden it's "unsafe". I guess we'll find out soon what the actual cost will be... But this is a pic of my truck at treverton...

It's county land they will be taking over. As far as I know RAC only owns the piles. I've been riding my yamaha raptor there for a year and I love the area. For me It takes a little less than 3 hours for me to get there.

Mannarino for me Ohio is like 6 hours for me. I'm not sure which Northampton that guy lives in but that could be pretty far too.

I might be able to get up there. Probably would bring my quad and get my buddy to join me. Where is the entrance? Also in PA you need your atvs tagged right?
