Open daily from 10am to 6pm between the months of May through November, this area offers miles of ATV and motorcycle trails as well as a beginners course with two jumps. The perimeter trail is similar to a harescramble course which has a creek crossing. Scenic hiking, mountain bike and snowshoeing trails are also available (weather permitting). The property also features a 30-acre field that overlooks the valley of the Susquehanna River. Amenities include a picnic area, stocked pond with Koi fish, a museum and camping facilities.
