Pennsylvania was one of the original thirteen colonies and not only is the state full of historical places, even many of the 4-wheeling trails have historical significance. Pennsylvania contains lush grassy fields, bright green forests and beautiful streams and lakes, and you will be able to experience all of this while you ride your 4-wheeler along the many trails and riding areas. Many of the 4-wheeler trails in Pennsylvania have some historic context and many have educational materials posted at the trails themselves, so you can learn a bit about the history of the state while having fun on the trail with your 4-wheeler.
In order to ride your 4-wheeler in the state of Pennsylvania you must have your vehicle registered with the state's recreation management agency, which requires a small fee that varies county to county. Riding your 4-wheeler on any type of paved road is completely prohibited in Pennsylvania, except for when you are crossing highways. Another thing that the state requires is that you wear your safety helmet at all times while you are riding you 4-wheeler. Wearing you helmet is simply common sense, but those who are caught not wearing one will suffer legal repercussions, mainly in the way of a large fine. The minimum age requirement for 4-wheeler riding in Pennsylvania is 16, though children 10 and older are allowed to ride on public land, and all persons 10-16 are required to have a safety certificate in order to ride.
Due to the harsh winter weather, many of the trails in Pennsylvania have riding seasons that generally run from April through December, a good rule of thumb is to call before you haul and make sure the trail you want to explore is open.
