Rausch and AOAA both have trails that fit the bill.

Thanks! Both are over an hr away, would there be any closer to Carlisle area?

Rule #1 never wheel alone.
Rausch is great as most obstacles have a by pass.

Rausch is awesome...been there twice with my son, and we're 2.5-3 hours away in NJ. @zdr it's worth the trip, and if it's only an hour or so it's not bad. I wish we were that close, we'd wind up there a lot more frequently.

Rausch is probably the closest . A couple of fairly easy trails up by Bald Eagle State park. I live over in Daulphin county if you’re ever looking for someone to go with you to Rausch Creek.

Near carlisle check out michaux state forest.

And these are very helpful

Rock Run has done super easy Jeep trails. My buddy and I were out there a few weeks ago, he was in a bone stock JLU Sahara and we got it through even their black trails without any damage. I thought it was all a little too easy for myself to make a 5hr drive out to it, I’d rather just go to Raush Creek again next time. But if it’s local and fits the Bill there’s definitely easy trails there

Not sure if PA has “Seasonal Use” roads marked like in NY State, but I have taken some of those in the areas around the Fingerlakes. It helped me get used to the ability to drive my JK when I had it and in some areas really presents some interesting obstacles also. Sometimes the roads would wash out after a heavy rain and that would be an interesting drive.

Sometimes if I see a dirt road, if it’s not marked ”POSTED” or “PRIVATE” I’ll take it just to see where it leads too.
