Timberline ATV Trail

Allegheny National Forest

The Timberline ATV Trail is a system of 38 miles of interconnecting trails traversing scenic, forested hills of the Allegheny National Forest. The trails are designed for the enjoyment of ATV riders at the beginner skill level. Other vehicles, such as motorbikes, mountain bikes, and snowmobiles can also enjoy this trail. The trail is open during the summer from the Friday before Memorial Day to the last Sunday in September and during winter from December 20 to April 1. Inclement wet weather may cause the trails to close in short notice--when in doubt, please call ahead (814) 723-5150. The trail ties into the Marienville ATV/Bike Trail.

This trail is open to Class I and Class II ATVs, trailbikes, snowmobiles, horses and mountain bikes. All ATV trails are marked with yellow, diamond-shaped blazes. Consult the trailhead bulletin boards for more information and additional trails that may be open or closed.

"YOU ARE HERE" maps are located at these key junctions to aid riders in navigating the trail. The Timberline ATV Trail provides an enjoyable recreational experience. The trail utilizes many old roads and railroad grades. Riding surfaces are generally level and wide (averaging 8 feet in width). Two-way travel is permitted on the trail.

During the winter season, this trail provides snowmobile access from the south and southeast to the Allegheny Snowmobile Loop system. Because of concurrent use of ATVs and snowmobiles, this trail is not groomed.
