I've been to both. I don't have a preference. I think I'll say that Green at Rausch is much easier than green at Anthracite. AOAA is also a lot easier to navigate. All the trails lead back to the main road. Rausch is more technical, but I think the scenery at AOAA is amazing. The old abandoned mines are pretty cool to look at.

Actually, it's pretty close to Rausch. It's an old abandoned coal mine that was turned into an off-road park. It's "Anthracite Outdoor Adventure Area"

AOAA is about 2 1/2 hours north of me...a little north of Harrisburg, PA. And yea, right near Rausch Creek.

I have been to both, but I was just a ride along at Rausch. AOAA was my first real off roading, and I don't know yet if I have a preference. I would like to get up to Rausch for a badge soon though.

I didn’t get drawn for the bear lottery this year, so maybe next year and I’ll be out that way again. I’ll grab a beer with you if I draw next year. I have a hydro too.

Used to be a 17 mile loop at Green Ridge that was much more technical than anything else in Maryland. It’s been closed for several years for “environmental reasons.” There are still lots of gravel roads used by campers and hunters, but not sure how much they really require 4 wheel drive.

Not the OffRoad park, just during bear hunting, lots of DNR only roads open.

Not much, but out that way beyond Greenridge, there’s a small stretch of Dan’s Mountain I would not recommend if not a Jeep of sorts—my 2012 F-150 FX4 was too big, my 2018 JL was just right and I would take the JT for it. South end of the east face.
