Hats up jk fourm. A few friends and I are heading to Rausch creek for my first time may 2-4 we are driving up fri night planing on wheeling sat and some on Sunday before returning home. Wondering if anyone else will be there then. Would like to meet some forum members.

Camping is primitive, but free. I may be able to get there one if those days. What level trails?

Just an FYI if you are planning on camping at the park. Schuykill county is under a burn ban until noon that Sunday, so no camp fires.

Why the burn ban??

dcharge74

With all the cold temps and snow cover, all the leaves and dead brush from the fall never got a chance to decompose. As soon as the humidity drops, this stuff dries out in a matter of hours. The county has had twenty something brush fires in March alone. It sucks, but the park is very strict with enforcing it. They won't hesitate to call the police if they catch anyone with a fire.
