FWC-LT, Do you know of anyone in Indian River Co. that I could talk to about the WMA around here? We really have to travel to find a place to ride. We have at least an hour drive just to go for an afternoon ride. There are a lot of us up this way that are very frustrated. We have tons of open land but no place to go. Thanks for listing the areas you did. Big Help!

Your last post was not negative and you said "fun" in this one. I think you are almost ready to ride. I know you are correct in alot of what you say. You have made good points. We want you to stay around but lets ride also. I will PM you next time I ride.

Thanks for the message Customrubicon. I appreciate it. It is nice to see law enforcement taking an active part in this board. I think we can all agree they have a tough job to do at times and it's nice to see they really care.
The solution to our riding area woes begins and ends with ourselves. This site can be an awesome tool in developing ideas and discussions that will benefit all of us.
Don't forget to PM me. Love to ride with all of you sometime.

Indian River County is managed out of our North East Regional Office in Ocala, you can call them at 352-732-1225.
You can also visit this web site:
http://wildflorida.org/hunting/
Look for the link to the WMA Regulations for the Northeast Region. You can view the different areas regulations on line then if you have specific questions you can call the Regional Office for clarification.
Good Luck

FWC I appreciate what you did earlier in the topic . You can really feel yoour concern in your posts ...and your frustration .I hope that our lawmen are really lawmen . Just limit the numers of vehicles allowed , sounds like a biologist we need to collectively can . Rules change to fit demands !

Its is good to see that FWC and PBSO are visiting the site, and offering input. Again, as a deputy, myself and many others own ATV's and ride. We are in the same boat as far as limited riding areas. These contacts between the riders and the FWC, and local law enforcement can only help in the long run.

Thanks for the positive replies!! We're not to worried about bashers Shotoftequila, we just throw on a helmet and ride through it. FWC-LT and I met up and discussed the issues. Just remember, FWC-LT and I are more at the enforcement level and we rely on all of you to voice your opinions to your local government officials about limited riding areas. Only by doing that, and reducing the amount of "black eyes" the sport is getting, will you see positive results.

From what I've read in the papers, that !!@*% broke the law requiring him to re-register when he moved there. I saw on the news cops and volunteers on quads trying to find her. Seems it's easier to point a finger than pick up a shovel....Rather than criticize the police, lets stay focused on the problem of having nowhere to ride and why. Sometimes we are our own worst enemy.

Jeez, I can only imagine what a meeting of our minds would be like to establish our cause. I bet that we would start out on the right foot, and in a matter of minutes a few would go off on a tangent about how bad cops are. Funny how those people are the first to call when they have a problem. Polaris is right, they are their own worst enemy.

I live in St Lucie and we had a canal right of way that you could sneek in and ride , not any more ! I would like to say thank you to whomever installed this blockade . My 3 year old daughter an myself had a great time riding on the roadways instead of the canal bank . And to whoever is busting out the fence down the side of Rosser , I dont agree but I understand . I have never been arrested for anything in my 33 years but now I am a Lawbreaker " Thanks " I will continue to be one until our state and counties do somethin to protect our rights . I will be the one in the orange jumpsuit riding a brand new Arctic Cat 500 down the roadway . Oh yeah ... I forgot to tell everyone I finally got me a Big Ole Ute .See you in the mud sometime soon .

I may be able to shed some light on the canal bank blockade. Along with Natural Areas, our unit patrols the canal banks of the SFWMD and the Southern Indian River Water Control District in PB county. The reasons we keep people off the canal banks are because of the lack of guardrails to keep vehicles from crashing into the canal, and washouts. In short, they don't want injuries or liability. These canal banks are posted " No Trespassing by motorized vehicles." JD, you may want to check on whether your canal bank is posted and who owns it. In most cases, a gate is installed to allow access for maintenance/utility crews. We've already had several ATVs crash into non-patrolled canals here, one in which the rider was seriously injured and had to be flown out. Most times, I find myself in a no win situation. We're either criticized by riders for doing to much enforcement, or chastized by the public/press for not doing enough enforcement when someone is hurt........

As for bluesman's replies, I would like to thank polaris and AndyH for responding. While everyone has a right to voice their opinion, I feel it was in very poor taste to capitolize on such a tragic event.

Let's Ride !!! I was going to ride today at holeylands. The area that is open. I was not able to because the storage place that I keep my bikes at was closed. What a bummer !! I took my family to John Prince Park and we had a blast. I am ready to ride.

PBSO What I don't understand about the canal banks are they are owned by the property owners, they are easements that the county has the right to access for maintenance of the canals. As a homeowner I can fence it in as long as I leave access for the county. So what gives the county any right to charge anyone with trespassing. How do you know that person does not have permission from that homeowner. I'm sure my neighbors wouldn't want me to be in trouble for riding down the canal bank. What if I were fishing, I could fall in just as quick. The county's not liable they don't own the the property just allowed to use it. I still think the county has better things to do with our tax money. I understand you are just doing your job, but it still stinks!!!!!!

gofastmatt2 I do believe there is a right-of-way on all canal banks? I live on the Earman River and Yes I have a fence down to the water and a dock, and I do not have to have a gate for access, but when we had all of that rain back in 98? my yard collapsed, giant sink hole along the river. The were 7 homeowners on the river trying to figure who owned the land? Who was going to PAY to fix the holes? We had Channel 12 out there and SFWMD Big shots asking them? Finally SFWMD sucked it up and fixed our yards. These holes were huge and SFWM did not want the expense but they admitted it is there responsibility, kids were playing, jumping a big hazard. PBC has nothing to do with the canals.

We should be able to use some of the canal banks that are in less populated "for now " areas , along with powerline trails , some fire roads . It seems that a little fresher way of looking at these areas for OHV use on a simple designated trail could really help !
