Throttle Through God's Country

For those who prefer horsepower to hiking boots, the endless, rugged logging roads of Potter County provide some of the best ATV and UTV riding in the northeastern United States.

The local trail networks intersect with massive swaths of state game lands and state forests, providing riders with everything from smooth gravel drags to technical, rocky descents.

The ATV Trail Systems

  • Susquehannock ATV Trail: A rigorous loop that stretches over 40 miles, throwing deep woods and elevation changes at riders.
  • Township Roads: Potter County has pioneered the opening of many township roads to ATV traffic, effectively linking local businesses, gas stations, and diners directly to the trail heads.

Most state forest trails are open from Memorial Day through the end of September. Always ensure your machine is properly registered through the DCNR, wear protective gear, and respect the logging heritage of the land.
