Exploring Bald Eagle State Forest for the First Time
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ต.ค. 2024
- Bald Eagle State Forest is an area I have wanted to explore for a long time now. This area, surrounded by Rothrock and Tiadaghton, is one of, if not the largest public land reservations in Pennsylvania. It's safe to say that on this trip, I only scratched the surface of what is here to see and enjoy.
Using my Purple Lizard Map, I turn off the highway immediately onto some gravel roads before finding my way to a very fun little "high clearance 4x4 road". A beautiful day and a fantastic little adventure--next time I will be sure to plan a longer stay!

Several years ago my buddy and I rode through that area on our ADV bikes. I wish I knew about those trails at the time.
Are we allowed to camp anywhere we find a spot in Bald Eagle State Forest?
You absolutely can, sites are reserved through ReserveAmerica.com
Just to let you know, you are the inspiration for us exploring the Bald Eagle are yesterday. We had a great time! Thank you so much!
Awesome! Thanks for letting me know. I need to make some more Bald Eagle videos
How did the tires do you get a year out of them and are they noisy going down the road
If your talking about the BFGs got about 2 years and maybe 35-40k miles out of them rotating in all 5. They didn’t get loud until the end, and even at that they were not that noisy. They chunked badly on rocks, and almost every one ended up with at least 1 plug in it. I had Patagonia MT 01’s after that for about a year and though much louder and heavier, they did great and didn’t chunk. I have Nitto Ridge Grapplers now that I’m on 35’s and of those 3 tires I would go Patagonia again no question
Awesome vid, love the screaming ass yellow jeep!
Haha thank you!
Really nice videography man. Epic shots!
Thank you! Lots more to come
Cool channel Sir! Will be watching this and future videos!
Thank you, I have been on a few great adventures and hope to have some new content very soon
Very cool video. PA has some of the finest forests in the eastern US. If anyone asks you how far into the forests you go tell them; "I've been to where the Devil bid the Owl, Goodnight"!
Wow. Absolutely amazing video and editing. I just went last week to besf and did some very mild trails in my jlu. By the way, do you happen to have the coordinates for the water crossing around the 2:22 mark? Please and thanks
Thanks so much for the compliment! That road is not in Bald Eagle, it’s near my friend Mark’s camp, it’s on a road that accesses a bunch of hunting camps. So many people have asked me for the coordinates, I really don’t want to blow that road up out of respect for the property owners in the area
@@DirtRoadTherapy I respect that. I’d do the same thing. Thanks anyway. Any recommendations on the most technical/difficult trails within besf?
At min 9:44 you probably didn’t realize you came across two black bear. As you’re come up to a slight bend in the road you’ll see one black bear on the right about 40 yards up at the edge of the ditch in the brush and bolt back up the hill immediately followed by another that was a few feet further up. Awesome!
I camped in my suburban on site 48 which is huuuuge and has a stream running 30 yards from the site. Going back that tomorrow and Sunday to catch the beauty of the forest in a snowfall!!
Wow, no I didn’t even see that. Great eye!!
Hey dude...nice vid...love your use of the drone. I live 30 mins outside of Philly, but we have property in Kishacoquillas Valley, which is about 30 mins from Centre Hall. I'm just getting into off-roading, so I'm on the hunt for good trails. But if you want a great camping/picnic/hiking spot, check out the Alan Seeger Natural Area. At the intersection of Stone Creek Rd and Seeger Rd there is an absolutely gorgeous creekside area. The drive in is not technical at all (although I don't know how well it's kept up in winter), but very peaceful and scenic.
Welcome to the 4x4 community and thank you for the camp spot tip!
Just the Doctor ordered... Some "Dirt Road Therapy" to help motivate us through another work week! Great job and wow that area is incredible. I'm definetly ooking forward to not only more trips to the area on your channel, but hopefully getting to see it in person some day.
Thanks! Yes it is, I really need to spend more time there. Let’s plan a trip!
Man! I wish Judith was still this clean. My 4.0 sounds like you diesel, Hailstorm after hail storm, but still many adventures. Loved the video!
Thanks! Mine took a beating last month 😪 but the diesel is still very good 👌🏼
It’s philly to the East, Pittsburgh to the west and Alabama in the middle
Have not heard that one!
Ok, now that I've been there this past weekend (just posted the Day 1 video today) and we camped at Site 48 near that Sand Mountain area, I can say that this Sand Mountain / Little Poe area is just the tip of the iceberg. Overall it's just an incredible forest. Sharpback Hollow, Henstep, and Longwell Draft are all trails you should make sure you hit next time if you have a few days. Henstep is a beast, but a blast!
Awesome! Glad you had fun and thank you for the tips! I can’t wait to go back. Might wait for fall colors and hit all that.
I love those trails at the beginning, gets me every time.
Hey buddy, this is in my area!! Love PA!! My favorite dirt roads!
Less Traveled Awesome! Yeah some really cool stuff out that way I need to get back. Was just up around Pine Creek, that area is gorgeous
Dirt Road Therapy I just spent some time in Elk county. Rut season is here! I’m thinking Cooksburg or Clarion river fishing this week.
The next time I went to Bald Eagle, there was a lot of snow! th-cam.com/video/aTcMzGQ1ao4/w-d-xo.html CHECK IT OUT WE HAVE MERCH! TEE'S HOODIES AND MORE 👆🏼
Ya when they say Pennsyltucky its not a term of endearment but I get what you're saying. I'll be getting one of those maps and exploring asap. Been looking to get off road in the Harrisburg area.
Being in Harrisburg, you’re about an hour closer than I am to a lot of great stuff
Excellent video, thanks for sharing! New subscriber here…..
Thanks James, pumped to have you!
Good Video. I live in the Shamokin area and have never been to Bald Eagle. But somehow or other, i do believe i will eventually get there.
I realize it's not that far away but plan two days and camp somewhere! There's so much to see. Thanks for watching!
@@DirtRoadTherapy Thanks for the reply and since i am retired i can hardly wait until i visit the area to try to take in as much as possible.
Love your video man. Love the fact that you actually show the trip and the process of navigating via the maps.
Thank you! Great feedback. I have two more episodes coming very soon, stay tuned :-)
Well, you reviewed and explored one of my favorite 4x4 stomping grounds; Your editing is flawless and I do hope you make it back there sometime soon! I love Strong Mountain Road, from start to finish; But you've gained a subscriber!
I'd love to see "Trail Reviews" of this park and all parks!
Great job, stunning scenery out there
Can’t wait to go back
Awesome man! By any chance, do you have the trails recorded on Gaia GPS? Would love to check them out.
Luis Perez I did not record my track for this adventure, sorry!
Motivation for my tdi TJ swap!
Awesome! I did some swap videos about it on BleepinJeep actually, check them out!
