    Stringtown OK Choctaw Travel Plaza. You can walk 1.75mi up Fred’s Fish Camp Rd to the Atoka Reservoir with trails. The road sees very little traffic. I caught a few bass and crappie there a week ago on a 34 too if you’re into fishing.

    I-70 exit 26, Grand Junction, CO. Across the tracks, under the bridge, down the road. Should get you to the river trail system. I didn’t walk this to prove access. But there is no fence between Pilot and the tracks. 39B68B4E-49FC-48FC-90C2-0EC4938A5027.jpeg

    I found an awesome new place

    AZ, I-40 exit 240 just east of Flagstaff. No facilities, but enough space for one or two semis. It's a whole old abandoned town, with ruins and caves and stuff. Very southwest. Great place for a half hour break walk, especially if you're running early - as you'll probably spend at least an hour exploring everything.

    North Mankato MN on 169. There’s a BP with truck parking immediately north of the intersection with 14 that’s across the road from two spacious dog parks within a larger recreation area with trails along the Minnesota River. Fishing access on the river and a small lake across from the kwik trip immediately south of 14.

    Breezewood PA park at the TA, no more than a quarter mile east on US-30. On google maps or truckerspath you’ll see a trailhead indicator labeled “abandoned PA turnpike”. It’s about a two mile walk on what used to be the toll road/76 to the entrance of a tunnel, and goes on at least 10mi from there. Very interesting.

    Ooh, I've heard of those. This one is definitely on my list. I usually avoid the turnpike cuz it's expensive and narrow and weird, I prefer the 80... but hopefully one day I'll be on a lazy run through there and finally make it to the old tunnels.
     
    86scotty and Coffey Thank this.

    I know this is an old post, but do you actually believe this? You think you can fish for free in every other state without a license because you don't live there? Who told you this? Whoever told you this is an idiot. You HAVE to have a license to fish in ANY STATE you are fishing in. It's known as a non-resident fishing license. If you get caught fishing without one the fine is usually about 200 dollars.

    The only exception is if you are using a cane pole and a bobber. Rod and reelers require licenses.

    Unless you are fishing on private property with the owners permission. We travel in our rv and a lot of the rv parks have ponds with catch and release.
