4x4 Icon - Michaux State Forest

"Michaux is a state forest that has designated ORV trails. The trails are fairly easy with a couple hill climbs that could challenge someone with an open diff and bad tread (snicker). Over-all, it's a rocky road trail (small rocks) enough that you can't go fast or you'll loose your kidneys. I've only seen one trail there....I'm sure there's more to be explored.

I haven't been back to Blackwoods in over a year so things could have changed. I've heard its closed and has been sold to the PA Game Commission. I've been thinking about going back there just to see if the rumors are true.
A year ago, Blackwoods used to be very popular with ATV's and dirtbikes. Alot of the trails are tight (width of an ATV) and pinstriping is a definate. Most of the stuff is easy with a couple places to challenge yourself. One area I call Rock Hill - is a rocky hill incline with a 'hard' and a very hard line depending on your experience and vehicle. Some of the rocks on this hill climb are garnished with diff oil.....
I only know one area of trails there - and there is more to explore - pending the area is still available to explore."
