Information on AOAA's "Mammoth" — one of the most challenging trail features in the park. Get specs, safety tips, and what to expect. About The Mammoth In 2018, $25 million dollars from the Abandoned Mine Land Economic Revitalization(AMLER) pilot funds were allocated to Pennsylvania. A portion of these funds in combination with AML Title IV funding, was used to complete the Anthracite Outdoor Adventure Area (AOAA) project (88 acres). This project reclaimed approximately 5,000 feet of Dangerous Highwall, one Hazardous Water Body, two Vertical Openings and one Hazardous Equipment & Facilities site. In addition, the AOAA trails were expanded to include approximately 6,600 feet of extreme Jeep crawling trails and re-establishing and/or constructing approximately 4,370 feet of multi-use Jeep/ATV/dirt bike trails. A parking lot in close proximity to the geological formation called the "Whaleback", helicopter landing zone and approximately 4,900 feet of improved roads passable by two-wheel drive vehicles were also constructed. This "one of a kind”, man-made OHV destination, derives its name from the massive layer of anthracite hard coal known as the Mammoth Vein, that once filled this valley. The operation that extracted the coal from this area, along with the removal of over 2 million cubic yards of overburden, left behind approximately 90 acres of abandoned strip mining land. This widely used practice created numerous hazards, such as high-walls, steep drop-offs and water impoundments, that were deemed unsafe and labeled "attractive nuisances” due to unauthorized recreation and illegal dumping. The creation of this unique recreational attraction will help boost the local economy and increase tourism, as it is expected to attract visitors from across the United States. It caters to every level of off-road enthusiast, to either navigate or observe one of the most challenging and demanding extreme rock crawling trails in the United States, in a safe and managed facility. Riders can enjoy stunning vistas, educational areas, trail viewing points and beautiful scenery, all located at the Anthracite Outdoor Adventure Area(AOAA). In the spring of 2022, after approximately 30 months, the project was completed and opened to visitors and park customers soon after. As expected, a project of this magnitude is a huge undertaking and requires many agencies, land owners, and partners to complete.
