ATV Florida Forum

Hey  yall  was  wondering if  yall knew  of  any  places  to  ride  around  polk  county  and ajoining  counties    I  ride in  River  Ranch   and  Bubbas  Mud  Ranch   and  so on but  looking   for  new  places  to  play  

I'm in Lakeland also.  

I just spent a week riding in Ocala National forest. It's completely awesome and well worth the trip. BIG SCRUB is the campground. There's sooooo many miles of trails. It's well worth the two hour ride.  You could ride for days and not see the entire place.

I'm sure you know about croom which is good.

Also, there's a motorcross track in Bartow just south of Hwy 60.

I've never ridden out at the Mud Ranch, how is it?

Its  Jus t a  big  Mud  hole  and  also  Lakeland  speedway  is  doing  it  to  every  Sat  Nite  a  big  Mud  Hole   Party  

I heard of some good riding some where in Aulberndale (not sure how to spell it). any of you Polk county riders know of this place?

I have not heard of any places to ride in Aburndale.

If you can find out a general vicinity or some landmarks, I'll check it out. I live in Lakeland, right next to Aburndale.

I'll see if I can get some more information.

I am new to atv's and I am looking for a place to ride in polk county. I am kinda nervous about riding in not so legal areas such as poinciana(or is there a good place to go there?). Does anyone have any info on places that I can ride a ute i dont like fast riding and I dont care if its not the most legal place as long as its a popular place people ride alot and the cops dont show up much. My uncle told me about a place out on 559 right before I-4 turn right onto the road that heads back to haines city and theres a pit or somethin on the right, anyone know what this is?

Legal places close to Winter Haven for utility atvs to ride and approximate drive time.


International Drive/Sea World - 1/2 hour
River Ranch - Other Side of Lake Whales - 45 Minutes
Big Scrub - Ocala National Forest -1hr 45 minutes
Croom - Brooksville - 1 hr.  

Give those a shot.

The only one I hadnt heard of was sea world. would this be the same area that I used to take my 4x4 truck to to go muddin? Or where is it by seaworld.... also does anyone know how to get into river ranch, The guy I knew that had land out their sold it a year ago

What kinf of riding id out there by Sea World?

Mud Sand  and  trails  at  sea world  

Ya  I  think  I  know  where  its  at  Ill    double  check  though   ;)

Are any of you heading out there again nay time soon? If so do you mind if I follow one of you out there?

I may go out there Wednesday or Thursday if I don't go to Croom.

What time do you want to ride?

Those two days will nto work this week. Next week how ever I can do it. What time do you usualyy head out there?

I'm flexible, I usually can break out any time.

Let me know, I'm suppose to close on some River Ranch property this week. (It keeps getting pushed back).

Once I close though, I'll get you in out there if you want.

That sounds very cool. I will let you know about next week. I am going through withdrawls. I need some trail time.

Its  funny  you  say  that  mine  keeps  getting  pushed  back  too  I  wonder if  they  know  something  we  dont  ??????
