Gearhead Destination: Rausch Creek Off-Road ParkBy Brian Lohnes Posted 04/30/09
The whole four-wheel-drive thing is weird. If you’ve never been bombing through the woods or on trails with a 4x4 before, you think nothing of it and kind of dismiss it. The first time you actually do it, though, it’s as bad an automotive addiction as any form of racing.
There are lots of places to go to exercise your 4x4’s prowess but if you are on the East Coast and want to check out a killer park devoted to wheelin’ madness, you need to check out the Rausch Creek Off Road Park in Tremont, Pennsylvania.
This place has 1,700 acres of forest, trails, rock crawling, mud bogging, and camping good ness in the Pennsylvania wilderness. One of those “no one can hear you scream” kind of things, we’re picturing.
The park is open seven days a week with some days being open for everyone and others being limited to people with reservations. They host events and have been serving the 4x4 community since they opened in 2003.
For 30 bucks a day you can wheel your heart out with no fear of being shot at by an angry land owner or written up by a department of environmental protection officer. It’s like going to the drags except way slower and muddier.

I've never been to this place before, but when Paragon was open I went there a few times and that was pretty awesome. A shame they had to shut down, especially with it being just a short drive from my house. Now the closest is probably this one. Oh well, it was nice to be able to drive the jeeps there instead of trailering them, and being close to home if anything went wrong. This place looks pretty cool too.

Funny, I was invited to go there this past Sunday for a day of Jeepin', but couldn't make it. Some of my friends are into ATV's, the have very high opinions of the place.
Its only 1/2 hour away from my place, and is in the heart of Garage Club country (you know, the guys who want to make that movie Reb posted the YouTube links for).
