Warnings-Reminders for the  summer riding season at BSATV Park and the connector trails and legal roads.

1) the DCNR Rangers now have full PSP authority over all vehicles on all roads. So if you encounter them be polite,” and stop if asked to.
2) they will be looking for clearly displayed ATV registration tags. Helmets strapped on for all occupants. Covered auxiliary lights. Open alcohol containers in/on the machine, and if any are found may look in any cooler.
2a) a simple way to cover auxiliary lights is to use one quart ziplock bags duct taped over them.
3) make sure you have your drivers license and proof of insurance with you too. Failure to provide it when asked is a violation on your drivers license.
4)”pack it in - pack it out” with any trash that you may accumulate or find.
5)riding in any township roads at any unreasonable speed or exceeding any posted speed limit only leads to trouble for all of us.
6) be courteous to any residential or camp property that you pass. They may or may not be ATVers and if you irritate them the DCNR will receive calls and if they have your tag number expect a call or visit from the DCNR ranger office.
7) if for any reason you are riding through Orviston, please use Front Street along Beech Creek stream. Keeping in mind that Curtin Twp. has not approved ATV riding on any of their roads and that includes Orviston.
8)😎 likely places to encounter DCNR rangers
a) Kato bridge crossing area
b) Cook House mine area
c) East of the gas line at the BSATV trail                connector head.
d) Mclosky Rd intersection with the Orviston-Kato Rd. along the BSATV Connector trail.
e)either side of the ATV bridge over BC stream on the trail.
f ) at the intersection of Bear Creek Forest Rd. and the  north side connector trail head.
g) there are generally 2 or 3 sweep patrols daily from PA144 on the Dehass Rd through all BSATV Park staging areas along the Dehass Rd - through Orviston - along the Orviston-Kato rd. , then over to the SSRT trail head and/or out Panther Rd to 144.  The direction of travels varies by the Ranger. Typical times a ranger goes through Orviston is 8-9am, 1-2pm, and 4-5pm. That all depends on how many rangers are on duty and if they have to make any stops.
One additional thing, any speeding, reckless driving, or moving violations, DUI, fleeing, eluding, etc. will be cited go on your state drivers license tally.
