The WPA4XTRAC http://wpa4xtrac.org would like to announce the open to the public four wheeling schedule at Rock Run Recreation Area www.rockrunrecreation.com (http://www.rockrunrecreation.com)

The full schedule is now:
Sept 21,
Oct 4/5,
Oct 25/26,
Nov 22,
Dec 20.

Trail rides are limited to 40 participants. Pre-registration for all events is required.

We will offer three trail rides each day:
green/low blue,
blue/low black,
and upper black.

We do not have a red trail rating, but we certainly have trails that would garner a red rating at other parks. The trails were cut with smaller SUVs in mind (such as Jeep Grand Cherokees). Full size vehicles will find the trails to be very tight.

Suggested equipment is as follows:

Green/low blue: stock vehicles and those with a mild lift (15 vehicles per trailride)

Blue/low black: 33” tires and at least one locker (10 vehicles per trailride). Potential for body and drivetrain damage.

Upper Black: 35” tires(minimum requirement), two lockers, and winch. Body and drivetrain damage are very possible. (15 vehicles per trailride)

Additional required equipment for all vehicles is as follows:
1.) Have solid recovery points on the front and rear of the vehicle.
2.) Have a capable tow strap – no metal hooks or chains.
3.) Have an operational fire extinguisher.
4.) Have properly installed seat belts for all passengers.
5.) Have a lifting jack capable of lifting the vehicle's tire off the ground.
6.) Have a fullsize spare tire compatible with the other four tires.
7.) Have tools available to change a tire.
8.) Have a standard First Aid kit.
9.) Have your vehicle in good running condition.

To register for one of our trail rides, please include your name, address, phone number, trail selection, club (if applicable) and general vehicle specifics to dan58@marylandcreepers.com. The cost is $25/day plus $5 for passengers. Primitive camping is $10, and you must notify us 1-week prior to camping. Staging for trailrides begins at 0900, with a short drivers’ meeting following.
