Join The Hummer Club, Inc for an off-road event at one of Pennsylvania's premier parks.
Rausch Creek Off Road Park is devoted to providing a fun place for off-road enthusiasts to go four-wheeling. The park consists of almost 3,000 acres of easy, intermediate, and difficult trails – featuring rocks, bowls, hills, club friendly trails, and free, on-site camping. A great park for Hummers.
The Park consists of over 30+ miles of trails for almost every type of four-wheel drive vehicle; from stock to pro rock buggies. The trail network offers some of the easiest four-wheel drive trails to some of the toughest rock crawling trails in the country. Rausch Creek also has one of the only man-made concrete/all-natural rock crawling courses in the country to test your skills from beginners, to pro competition drivers.

The club will be hosting a two day event at Rausch Creek ORV, PA. Rausch Creek is within easy driving distance of many cities near the East Coast. For those who haven't been to the AOAA events, the park is about 20 miles from AOAA off of I-81. We are having a trail guide that knows these trails well and will lead us to maximize our fun time on the trails.
