Other Names

Richard J. Dorer State Forest, Rattlesnake Ridge, East Indian Creek

Last Known StatusOpen

This state forest offers 13.5 miles of ATV trails that for several interconnecting loops. The trails are marked and offer a wide variety of terrain that ranges from hard packed dirt and gravel to deep rugged and muddy sections with chunky hill climbs.

The forest offers some rolling hills, which provides some light to moderate elevation changes. The top of some of the hills offer scenic overlooks of the surrounding valleys.

The main staging area off Township Road 152 has the most room and also features an informational kiosk, several sites with picnic tables, BBQ grills, a vault toilet and a large hand pump well. There is no fee charged to camp but sites are first come, first serve.
