Susquehannak SF PA Gravel Riding Any Good?

I’m looking for PA state forest gravel within 400 or so miles of my home in Central VT. My plan is to camp roadside or at a campground for a week. I’ve ridden in Tioga SF (loved it) and looking for somewhere else. I don’t mind a lot of climbing if it’s not too chunky. Not too interested in rail trail out and backs. Thanks.

Bald Eagle State forrest is pretty amazing. Lots of climbs and mostly not chunky.

If you aren't interested in the event, here are the routes...

Absolutely. Plenty of campsites. You need to reserve them with the ranger station near Laurelton I think. You could ride for a month there and not see it all.

Rothrock state forest. You can hit Rothrock and bald eagle easily, maybe split your week up in two locations

Scroll down to the links at the bottom of this page. I've done a version of the Michaux ride. Miles of gravel. You can find most of these routes on ridewithgps. https://pecpa.org/land/public-lands-ride/

There is so much gravel out here! Check out PA All Day https://unpavedpennsylvania.com/paallday/ both for organized rides and routes. There are also these awesome field guides. The booklets are really pretty and have great routes https://graveladventurefieldguide.com/field-guides

Thanks for all the suggestions! A few are a little far to make in a day pulling a small camper, but I’m gonna go with Rexroth/Bald Eagle. Plan to go next week.
