Ive seen them taking hauling away atvs and dirtbikes riding around wissahickon trails forbidden drive.
I know of a few people who have been chased and either wrecked caught or were just caught without chase around roxborough area.
It seems like they don’t care for awhile and then all the sudden theres helicopters and 100 cops surround whatever lot or park ur in.

I live really close to the Port Royal power lines. The power lines there looked totally grown over in summer when I went to check on them. There is another PICO section just up from there on UMBRIA street next to the golf range. There is section of woods across from the gold range that I think is owned by the antenna farm. I rode there Sunday Feb 3, 2018 on my Montesa (which is sneaky quiet) and ran into a teenager on 80 cc db, he said he’s never had trouble there. I intent to do some trail grooming to make it a bit easier as it’s total bush wacking right now.

And I would stay out of the Wiss or Belmont entirely. There is a whole slew of people involved there that you don’t want to pass off. Wissahickon Ed is a particularly nice guy, but he puts too much work into the trails to see them destroyed. He owns the bike shop in Phoenixville.

The oval track you might catch trouble for but there are plenty of difections to run. I’m on a small four stroke so I’m not as loud as you all. PECO trails are down a hill so no one will hear you.

The peco trails are fairly common knowledge now. No threat of getting in trouble. Drop in there and you’ll see all sorts of trash which means people are back there regularly.

For the oval track, go on River Road to where Port Royal Ave comes to it. About 100 feet up Port Royal Ave on the left are high power lines. Roost up the bank there and you have the oval track.

@Jay, where are the River Road trails? I google earth viewed the 400 Schuylkill River Road trails and they look cool. Are both of these trails OK to ride or is there a chance of getting busted for trespassing or something?

Oh also, not sure why no one has mentioned the PECO trails, or whatever they are called. 400 Schuylkill River Rd. Look at Google satellite view. Nice trails.

I’m late to the game here, but the River Road trails are overgrown. I try to rip through there on an air-cooled 90cc, but I can’t get enough air over the motor to keep it turning. No police chasing me though. There is a nice short track off of Port Royal Ave under the power lines that stays well-beaten.

The river road trail is probably over grown by now. I’m a roxborough native and they have been cracking down hard on dirtbikes. The last time I went was maybe two years ago but every where you go within 20 mins cops will sure to be there. A lot of punks ruined it, trashing the neighborhood and such.

Not to mention the guys riding the trails on mtn bikes getting pissed and throwing a branch into your spokes as you pass them.

Mike and I were planning to check out trails near Bridgeport last year.

I would stay off the Wissahickon trails. The Wissahickon is the crown jewel of the Fairmout Park system and the Friends of the Wissahickon put a lot of time and effort into maintaining those trails. The FoW are also pretty politically connected. If they got word of dudes tearing around their trails on dirt bikes I think they would crack down pretty hard. Particularly in the Wissahickon, but I think there would be a trickle down effect to other parts of Fairmount park and more of a crackdown on dirt bikes in general.
