There's iron hill park in Newark, woodley park off mt. Lebanon in Wilmington area off 202.

What kind of truck you have?

I stopped by Blue Diamond a little while back and it appears the sole focus is the road course. The dirt track has been abandoned and is unusable.

I got a SCX10 that I ripped apart (been deep in water and muck too many times

) and was in need of a rebuild...so while I have it apart, its getting a few new things

Plus a new body - was running a H2 hardbody, swapped that over to a Pro-Line Cherokee with full interior and underbody...so we'll see how that works out

Yeah, I know they are mainly on-road now...but I didn't know if there were areas that were playable..I know G-Force Hobbies used to have something in their shop about crawling, but that was 2 years ago, maybe, and way before they moved....

02tac · 11-27-2011, 07:28 AM

My primary play areas are Port Mahon and Woodland beach. There are far better places up your way, Woodly Park for example, but I am not into the drive (unless I take the bike!) or the gas used to run up there.

bobandcar · 07-05-2013, 05:32 AM

Just joined up here. In pike creek area. I know a good riverbed just into Maryland from Newark delaware!
Also I am a land surveyor and have many jobsites that are great for dirt runs.

02tac · 07-05-2013, 07:22 AM

Can you post a location for the riverbed so we can Google map it?

Biggest problem for me, right now, is that I cannot justify the fuel cost for a run up north just to play with the rock crawler. That and my focus has shifted to RC flight.

bobandcar · 07-05-2013, 07:39 AM

It's in fair hill rec area off appleton road in elkton Maryland.

93firebird · 07-05-2013, 02:53 PM

I may have to check out fairhill. There is at least one spot I know of at Iron Hill. I have an area in my back yard that I am working on too. If the weather ever clears up I hope to do some more work on it. Woodley Park is the best area, there may also be a good spot or two along the red clay creek. Any of you southern folk interested we can meet at my place in Newark and drive up from there.

bobandcar · 08-09-2013, 06:40 AM

Were is woodley park?
Were in iron hill is good?

I'd be up to head somewhere I'm using a summit so it's a little bigger

To access Woodley park, there is a small place to park at 1149 Mount Lebanon rd. I have never been up there during the summer, not sure if the ticks might be bad. I have only run there in the late fall.

02tac · 08-09-2013, 07:48 AM

I would like to know if there is any access to below the east side of the Conowingo dam, one heck of a rock field there.

bobandcar · 08-09-2013, 02:35 PM

There's a county park downstream but its on the south side of where the octorora river joins the suskwahanna. <-- spelling bad. Lol

Could probably walk to those rocks but idk about the legal accessibility. On a side note that is where most of the bald eagles nest.

bmf24 · 11-04-2013, 04:23 PM

if anyone is still around in newark area i want to get back at it in a couple weekends. Iron Hill is pretty good and local to me, but i do want to check out the mt lebonon area sometime.
pm me if anyone is wanting to get out.

02tac · 11-04-2013, 04:39 PM

Want to get out too, but can't justify a trip up to your area just to run trucks. I may just hit woodland beach as the break water there is decent fun.

If I do get a chance to head up that way I will give you a PM.

bmf24 · 11-09-2013, 06:06 PM

sounds good. thinking about heading out tomorrow for a bit.

fullsizecrawler · 11-27-2015, 03:16 PM

if anyone is out there still ,and is on facebook there is a first state crawler club we try to get together ever weekend on sunday feel free to hit us up

k_bojar · 11-27-2015, 03:28 PM

I don't know of a Delaware crawling group, but there's a couple of eastern PA groups which ain't too far away
