Westport: ATV rides and excursions in the surrounding area

There are several different excursion options in the Westport area: ATV riding opportunities in summer and winter, a section of Kettle Creek included in the 2026 trout stocking program, and nearby Kettle Creek State Park. When choosing a hotel, it helps to consider these destinations as separate excursion options rather than one combined offering. Trail access begins on State Route 120 in Westport; the stocked section and the state park are in the surrounding area. This lets you consider travel time and the focus of your outing together.

ATV riding: trail and access

The Whiskey Springs All-Terrain Vehicle Trail offers 50 miles of ATV riding opportunities in summer and winter. Access follows State Route 120 in Westport for about 1.5 miles along Kettle Creek, then heads north on Two-Mile Road. The 50 miles refer to the trail’s riding opportunities, not the access route: the approximately 1.5 miles are part of the described route to the trail access point. This distinction helps keep the trail distance and the approach route separate when planning. Registered Class II ATVs are permitted. Check the current trail rules before riding.

Kettle Creek and trout stocking

Near Westport, a 5.6-mile section of Kettle Creek—from Slide Hollow downstream to the mouth—was added to the trout stocking program in 2026. Trout are stocked before and during the season. If you’re interested in trout, both the named stretch of river and the seasonal timeframe are useful points of reference. The trout stocking information concerns a section of river; access to the ATV trail also follows Kettle Creek. These two references to the creek answer different questions: Where is the stocked section, and where does the trail access route go?

Kettle Creek State Park near Westport

Kettle Creek State Park is also in the surrounding area, on SR 4001. Two roads provide location references: the park is seven miles north of PA 120 at Westport and three miles west of PA 144. These two directions locate the park in relation to different roads. The park is open daily year-round from sunrise to sunset; day-use areas close at dusk. For a day visit, both the general opening hours and the separate closing information for the day-use areas are relevant.

Consider the timing of your trip

The timing differs among the excursion destinations: riding opportunities on the Whiskey Springs Trail are available in summer and winter, trout are stocked before and during the season, and the state park is open daily year-round. These details describe different conditions, not one shared seasonal window. The park’s hours are from sunrise to sunset, so “year-round” does not mean it is open around the clock. If you’re looking for hotels in Westport, first decide which excursion matters most for your trip. Then you can take the relevant season, access route, or opening hours into account when planning.
