Title: Green Swamp
Post by: Vegas on March 19, 2005, 08:02:58 PM
I met someone up at Ocala this weekend who told me he rides in the Green Swamp area just north of Lakeland.

I thought that was protected Land.

Has anyone ridden there, and if so, what parts are OK to ride in?

The Green Swamp is huge.  Most of it is private land and if you know someone out there you can ride but as for the state owned part like Richloam, they don't allow ATV's but you can drive trucks and hunt there.

I use to ride on 400 acres off of Airport Road behind rooms to go, which the owner just sold so I can't ride there anymore.

I'm not sure of exactly where you're talking about off of 92, but this was behind Clark Road Farms and next to Polk County Parkway.

There's a motocross park in Bartow though..it's small but good for short rides and it's a straight shot down 60 from Brandon

If you have any good places to ride in Tampa let me know, I'll meet up and ride with you.

Yes, I'm not sure about this place location, but I just wanted to know, here in Tampa there are no many places to go and ride  :-/ , but any way, if some place "pop out" I'll let you know.
Besides Bartow, ther is another place that I'ven't been yet  "Quick mx track" I really want to check tha one out, I heard they also have a Hare Scrambles secction that I'll love to try some of this weekends but this coming one I have a race with FTR so it will be afetr that, and a heard  about Sunshine speed way here in St, Pete not that far from Tampa on Wednesday and Fridays knights they have practices so sounds like a couple places to try out.
