A friend told me about it.
From PATRA site-

SHADE MOUNTAIN TRAIL SYSTEM
Shade Mountain is open to dirt bikes with spark arrestors.

The Shade Mountain Riding area is located just north of McAlisterville PA. Take route 322 fifty miles north to the Thompsontown exit at route 333. Turn right on route 333 to route 235 north to Mcalisterville. Continue on route 235 to dirt parking lot at the top of the mountain. The parking lot is located 7/10 mile past the Snyder County line sign on route 235.

The trails are very rocky, enduro type trails and are marked in yellow in both directions. All trails are designed to CROSS the only dirt road on the mountain, so you don't need a license for you bike. You do need a license if you decide to ride on the dirt road.
