A beautifully designed, easy-to-read topographic map featuring contour lines, elevation data, shaded relief, lake depths, lake navigation markers, and all the key details you need to plan your adventures: backroads and trails, trail use designations, road surfaces (paved/gravel/4wd), parking access, campsites, public lands, historic sites and more.
Lizard Maps are durable, waterproof, and give you the big picture – the map opens to 24” x 36” and folds easily to 4” x 8” to fit in your back pocket. The Raystown Lizard Map covers all of Raystown Lake on one side, the scale is 1:45,135 (1 inch = 0.7 mile). A detailed map of the Allegrippis Trail System and Trough Creek State Park is on the other side, the scale is 1:22,588 (1 inch = 0.4 mile). Includes both lat./lon. and UTM coordinate systems.
Public lands: the entire 30-mile length of Raystown Lake from Huntingdon to Saxton, PA, which is owned and managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and a section of Rothrock State Forest and Trough Creek State Park on the eastern side of Raystown Lake, Warriors Path and canoe Creek State Parks and parts of State Game Lands 67, 73, 99, 118, 322.

Major biking trails: all about the Allegrippis Mountain Bike Trail System, a favorite destination for cyclists around the country. Dirt Rag magazine holds its annual Dirt Fest event here every spring.

A mountain bike skills park is located by the Visitor Center and offers beginner through expert riding opportunities.
