State Game Lands 33, along Rt 322 west of State College CLOSED to horse riding with no warning in fall 2024 and Game Wardens have fined riders. Local judges have (unbelievably) upheld the fines despite PROOF that the PGC website still said there were 18 miles of trails open to horse riding. DO NOT RIDE THERE.
