Rausch Creek Off Road Park: Trail H
Joliett, Pennsylvania
Trail H at Rausch Creek primarily serves as an access road to the western loop of the park. While it's mostly easy, you will encounter a few rocks along the way. This trail is rather steep and will be a good test for beginners to use their transfer case to descend and not solely rely on the brakes. The real allure of this trail is the stunning views as you descend to the western loop, especially when the foliage colors change in the autumn months. Take this trail to access Trail 11, a Jeep Badge of Honor trail. As with the rest of the trails at Rausch Creek, primitive camping can be found (with advanced notice) in their main parking lot.

Rausch Creek Off Road Park: B Green
Joliett, Pennsylvania
Trail B is a relatively flat and easy trail within Rausch Creek that will offer a good challenge for a beginner driver. It will also be an excellent introduction to the water crossing within this park, which can be very deep, rocky, and a dark, opaque color from the coal found in this area. Pair this up with Trail D - Green for a fun loop within this park. As with the rest of the trails at Rausch Creek, primitive camping can be found (with advanced notice) in their main parking lot.

Rausch Creek Off Road Park: D Green
Joliett, Pennsylvania
Trail D within Rausch Creek offers the longest and deepest water crossings for a "green" trail within the entire park. If water crossings are your thing, put this trail on your list. Since these are hard-bottomed water crossings with the propensity for large rocks that will bounce you around just underneath the surface, go slow and steady. Going fast might damage your vehicle, and the last thing you want to do is winch out or recover in the thick, murky, and very smelly mud.

Rausch Creek Off Road Park: J Green and Blue
Joliett, Pennsylvania
Do you know how flexy your rig is? Do you know the limits of how far off-camber you can get? If you didn't know before, you will certainly find out on Trail J. Right from the get-go, this trail will allow you to flex your rig out, followed up by some very tippy off-camber, and finally, a larger rock obstacle. If you are looking for the next level challenge from the "green" trails, this is the perfect trail to do it. Bring a spotter with you, as the potential for novice drivers to damage their rigs is a real possibility on this trail.
