The Weiser State Forest offers a wide variety of low-density recreational opportunities. Since the state forest land is broken up into thirteen tracts covering five counties there is a wide spectrum of forest visitors. The more common recreational activities are: mountain biking, hiking, hunting, fishing, horseback riding, kayakingcanoeing and motorized, roadside camping.
The Weiser is a premier destination for mountain biking in particular. The Rattling Creek Trail System located in the Haldeman Tract has even been designated an Epic trail system by the International Mountain Biking Association (IMBA). An extensive single-track system is also found in the Roaring Creek Tract. Equestrians will find rewarding riding opportunities in the Haldeman where the equine camping area is located. There are several hiking destinations to note including several unique trails in the Roaring Creek Tract, the Split Rock Trail in the Haldeman, and the Appalachian National Scenic Trail which enters some of the smaller, ridge top tracts.
Camping in the Weiser State Forest is a great way to get away from it all and spend a night in the great outdoors. The designated, roadside campsites are identified by signpost and campsite name. They are remote, designated sites with no amenities other than a fire ring and picnic table.
