The Timberline ATV Trailhead has experienced problems with sanitation and vegetation destruction. In order to protect the natural resources and the health and safety of forest visitors, overnight camping has been restricted to designated sites only.
Please camp only in those areas posted for overnight camping. Please make proper use of the restroom facility, and please pack out your garbage. Your cooperation with these guidelines will help the US Forest Service ensure that this trailhead is an attractive place to visit on the Allegheny National Forest . Thank you for your cooperation.
