RV rental Tioga State Forest, PA: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

Encompassing nearly 162,000 acres, there is a bounty of outdoor recreational fun to be had at Tioga State Forest. Well over, 200 miles of hiking trails meander and weave through dense second-growth woods, open meadows, and wetlands. The West Rim Trail, a 30-mile trek, skirts the top of the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon (also known as Pine Creek Gorge), which is said to be as impressive as the Grand Canyon out west. This canyon is narrow and deep, plunging over 800 feet into a narrow gap. Mountain biking and horseback riding too, are welcomed, at Tioga State Forest. Bicyclists and horseback riders can join hikers on most trails, save for West Rim Trail, and a couple of others. When winter rolls around, the fun doesn’t stop. Intrepid adventurers brave the bitter cold to enjoy the woods transformed like magic by lacy, soft snow Over 177 miles of trails are open to snowmobiles. Around 29 miles are kept maintained for cross-country skiing, and if anyone is inclined, they are welcome to try their luck on one of the other ungroomed trails. When 162,000 acres of Pennsylvania wilderness isn’t sufficient, nearby Loyalsock State Forest has over 114,000 acres of woodlands and low mountains at which outdoor adventurers can test their skills. There are over 200 miles of marked trails and an estimated additional 100 miles of unmarked trails (from before the region was established as a state forest). A particular area called the Devil’s Elbow is a wetlands region where carnivorous plants like sundew and pitcher plant can be found (do not pick, however!). Pennsylvania has its share of ghost towns, and the ruins of one such town, McIntyre, can be found in this state forest. There are dozens of small picturesque waterfalls dotting the mountainside, fed by gurgling, babbling creeks and brooks.
