Mines & Meadows: Pennsylvania’s Underground Mine Tours, Dirt Bike Single‑Track & SxS Mountain Trails

The First Run

The Dirt: Why We Rip Here

• Get ready for a wild mix—wooded trails, rocky climbs, deep mud, and enough elevation changes to keep you on your toes from the first mile.
• The underground mine tours are the main event—fire up your machine and roll into cool, dim tunnels carved out by Pennsylvania’s mining past.
• Dirt bikers, you get the full run—100% trail access, plus 8 miles of single-track built for those who want to push their limits.
• SxS riders, bring your biggest rigs—no width limits here. Every trail is open for you to explore.
• Quad fans, this place has your name on it—2WD sport quads and 4x4s can dig into tough climbs and mud that’ll test your skills.
• Trails stay fresh thanks to a steady grooming schedule—check the calendar and hit your favorite loops when they’re running prime.
• You’ll be surprised how much action fits into 877 acres—mellow woods, tough climbs, and even spots for the kids to get in on the fun.

Basecamp: Facilities & Camping

• Primitive camping is right past the peewee track—roll in, set up, and you’re steps from the trailhead.
• RV crowd, you’ve got your own spots—pick your site, plug in, and get ready for a weekend of riding.
• The staging area is always buzzing—unload your rig, check the grooming board, and gear up for a mine run.
• Showers and bathrooms are ready near the main office, open daily from 9 to 5.
• Night riding would be wild, but here it’s sunrise to sunset only—no after-dark runs allowed.
• Hungry? Hit up local spots nearby—the park keeps the focus on riding, not food.
• Trails close for spring maintenance in mid-March and usually reopen by late April, weather depending.
• Little rippers get their own peewee track—under 99cc only—so they can build skills and join the fun.

The Damage

• Daily passes vary by weekday and weekend, with day passes, late‑day passes, and two‑day options available depending on the season.
• Memberships include yearly Gold options for single riders or families, with add‑on pricing for additional members.
• Rates change with camping needs — primitive sites, electric/water hookups, and platform tents each have their own pricing tiers.
• Cottage rentals offer weekday and weekend rates, with seasonal pricing and minimum‑night requirements during holidays.
• Fees vary by time of year, and riders planning multi‑day trips often check the park’s website for updated seasonal pricing.
• Mine tours cost $5 per person and run March through November on a set schedule, with winter tours available by appointment for groups of four or more.

Trail Rules & Safety

• Helmets aren’t a must, but you’ll want your gear—rocky stretches, mud, and tight woods will keep you on your game.
• Flags aren’t required, but they’ll help you stay seen in open spots and on blind hills.
• Bring what you ride—no width limits for SxS, dirt bikes get every trail, and quads can hit the tough stuff too.
• Stay on marked trails, respect closures, and check the grooming board before you roll out.
• Keep the beers at camp and the trails family-friendly—everyone’s here to ride safe and have a blast.
• Watch for roots, slick mud after rain, tight trees, and rocky climbs—steady throttle wins the day.
• No riding for non-members during rifle deer season, and no night runs—plan your trip around the rules.
