Title: Went to the Yucapen for the first time Post by: Njoutlaw88 on May 08, 2005, 04:46:51 PM I went to the Yucapen for the first time yesterday. I really enjoyed it. It was a little to flooded out for my dirt bike but I still managed to fallow the utility quads accross the lakes and rivers. The only problem with the whole trip was that my bike hit a stump and fell into the water. I got it up and it started but didn't rev up so this guy on a ultility quad towed me back. Now the bike doesn't start at all but I havent really looked at it. Anyway I could see the water was draining out of the rivers. I wish there was a way I could tell how deep the water is before I head out to the Yucapen next time.

Title: Re: Went to the Yucapen for the first time Post by: Njoutlaw88 on May 09, 2005, 10:07:32 AM Yea we parked by the fire house. I had a blast I just don't think my friends xr 80 could handle the water.
Title: Re: Went to the Yucapen for the first time Post by: muddogg on May 16, 2005, 01:26:52 PM hey guys sorry to but in here, but where exactly is this yucapen??? i am in ft laud, go to ocala to ride alot, been to croom hate it, looking for something maybe a little closer. if its not too much trouble email me direct kr_f3504x4@yahoo.com thanks, BILL
ps, the word is they are closing the lower end ocala forest because of too many people "mud riding" in the ponds out there. Title: Re: Went to the Yucapen for the first time Post by: 2Raptors on May 16, 2005, 02:53:48 PM Do a search and you'll find lots of talk about it. BTW, it's not a legal place to ride like Croom or Ocala and much of it will probably be developed soon.

Title: Re: Went to the Yucapen for the first time Post by: Njoutlaw88 on May 17, 2005, 10:31:27 AM How long does it take for that place to dry out? Like if it doesnt rain for a week would the water go away.
Title: Re: Went to the Yucapen for the first time Post by: 2Raptors on May 17, 2005, 11:56:25 AM Shotgun will know, but I'd guess that with a dry week a lot of the trails would be pretty dry. The problem is that it is so flat out there and water has nowhere to go so after heavy rains is just stays wet.
Title: Re: Went to the Yucapen for the first time Post by: KnightRida on May 17, 2005, 09:32:38 PM trails dont stay flooded that much but it takes at least a month i would say for the flag ponds too go bak too normal
