Famous Reading Outdoors

  • First off, I might have to dispute the name. How 'Famous' is it, really?


    Anyways, does anyone here know anything about this 'Famous' place? Has anyone here ever been there? I am wondering what the trails are like. All of the pictures I can find show mostly trails that might be considered greens or easy blues in comparison to Rausch Creek.

  • I posed the question on facebook, and they replied:


    "The Famous Reading Outdoors has a different trail rating system. Its basically a step up from Rausch and AOAA. The blues are Rausch blacks and the blacks are Rausch reds. Locked and on 35s will get you into the reds but be prepared for roll overs and severe body damage. Blacks will be doable on 35s with lockers. "

    Im unclear on who this "permit" fee goes too and who is policing the property.
