Maps are not available showing Reading Anthracite Company properties. Property locations can be checked by using the Schuylkill County parcel locator website. search this out, we will be looking into it this week.

. Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 I heard rumors that its somewhere around 20,000 acres of land, not all of it rideable of course. Many areas are still active coal mining areas and I'm sure some areas will be off limits. The parking will be for the most part where all the mining equipment is, and there are 3 main reasons why this came about (thank god its about time) number 1 it being that there has been lots of vandalism to the mining equipment (broken windows and such) number 2 is the dumping issue and number 3 it is a chance for them to make money on unused land anymore, it was ridden already, and people get hurt and lawsuits come about and all that good stuff. Now they'll be able to have you sign waivers, have insurance and help make their land useful and cleaner. Let's not ruin this one guys, its an oppurtunity for a great area of riding (I've been there twice). You can ride all day and not see the same trail twice. If this all goes well, maybe all the other areas will follow suit. I'm tired of getting chased by coal company 4wheelers (4wd and they dont have a chance). And I'm tired of riding in the 2 little pay areas up in that area that are completely over ridden and dangerous at times coming around corners. There could be 1000 people at this place and your not gonna be overcrowded. Good hills, good open areas good trail areas and all in all a good place to ride. If you dont want to get insurance on your quad then dont ride here.....I pay 13 a month on each of my banshees and for me its cheap insurance. Plus it allows me to ride in places that you couldnt without it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanky Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 If you have any pictures of this place please post them. Also how rocky is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Op Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 I like the news but 100 dollars to ride? I pay 75 for a year pass at old forge NY for the sleds and they have groomers running the trails 24/7. I doubt they will maintain trails or protect them against enviormentalists Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pay 75 for a year pass at old forge NY for the sleds and they have groomers running the trails 24/7. I doubt they will maintain trails or protect them against enviormentalists 484110[/snapback] first off, its private property so you give a big FU and a to the good ol environmentalists. How many rideable acres is old forge? This is 20,000 acres and for the most part you dont have to worry about grooming. Only parts that might get into mogul type riding is long straightaways (like next to RR tracks) that get over ridden for years. Besides that, it'll be good riding for years to come. The areas close to base camp might get torn up a little bit, but once you get out into the land....it'll be pretty clean riding all over. The area I was thinking of is owned by Reading anthracite, but isnt one of the areas that this coming about is talking about (I dont think). The area that they are talking about is up closer to meats house I believe. Maybe the hundred dollar pass will allow you to ride the areas that I've been riding for the last 4 years for free as well. Which will be nice, because they really starting patrolling actively on the one side of the road (some of the better riding) and werent allowing us to ride. If we have a pass, maybe we'll be able to ride that side as well. It was like cutting my riding area in half....and they took the better half away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

. Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 if you live in pittsburgh its supposedly not that incredible long of a journey to Hatfield-McCoy. 4-6 hours I think? Some of the best riding in the world there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
