ATV Florida Forum

Back in the mid 1980's to around 1998 I use to ride that area be for there were quads. The big thing was the HONDA 250R. I was wondering if you still can ride there or is it all taken up by Rinker and FPL. It looks funny to see 1980's makes me think of the old western movies and makes me think I'm old but I don't feel old. Sorry for the rambling I guess  its an age thing. :N

u can still ride out there i was riding there 2 weeks ago wen holey lands was closed. but let me tell u its not the same anymore.

Could get better if more of us ride there. Can you provide directions to the location I would like to try it.

its right of 27 and krome ave on the right hand side in fromt of the trailer homes

It's east side of Krome north of US41 and south of US27. There is a MXtrac out there now I heard.

I'm planning on going out this Saturday to see how it is. I've seen riders park on the west side of Krome on the levy going to Mac's.

I'm looking for a place to ride tomorrow so thought I might try it

Papahouse if your back in time tomarrow can you let us know how it was?

Will do if I go there

macs is more for 4x4 quads is muddy and the sport quad section is just dust and rocks. went out there 2 weeks ago me and my friends with raptors 700 and all of them got stuck more than 5 times so did i its terrible out there now to many holes

Listen the East side is a BUST!! You do not want to get caught there..some good ridin, but not worth it. Take the boat ramp south and you will have fun if on a UTE.

I still have a 250r and a 200s, both cut some of the trails out there. :)
Thanks for the fond memories buddy. You use to be able to ride to Lost Lake from my place in Davie....Progress....

I rode over there a week or so ago, here is the thread.

Don't forget, stay away from the East side of Krome!!!

JacklL what do you mean it's a bust to ride out there. Is it no longer legal or it's monitored and enforced no tresspassing? Or is it all taken up by rock pits? I want to go riding but there is no place to go any more ???

on the west side is fine to ride but not the east side. cross the boat ramp and ur good

Is it dry enough to take a sport quad on the west side? I have like the nick name says a Raptor 700 and my son has a Honda 400ex.

well it hasnst rained and i was there 2 weeks ago so it should be very dry. i have a 450r as my name says and i got stuck a couple times but it should be dryer now so i think theres no problems

Yes, the east side is posted no trespassing now, so stay out. The FWC will boof you. They ran us out with a helicopter a few months back in the middle of the night. The track owners will call if they hear you out there.

That said, feel free to join me and a few buds for one serious swamp thrashing at Macs. We will be entering at the air boat ramp 6:00AM Saturday 5/5.

It is pretty nasty out there even now, I don't think any of you sport guys will want to go down the boat ramp with us, I will be happy to pull you all around in the muck if you want..:) , but I don't think it would be very fun for you. The dykes are off limits, and Marshall will shoot you in the head if you exceed 5mph on the gravel road in front of the fish camp.


Hope to see some of you out there.

Sorry I never got back to your PM. Got a lot of things going on. Please join us out there. I will be parked on the south/west parking area and should be pulling into the muck at 6:01 AM. White F-250 here.

Well discuss your request in person, or I'll get back to you with a PM when everything cools down a bit BTW.

Decided not to go to Krome and went to L-Cross instead. Had fun there today and more the rest of the weekend.

That you will my friend.

Take some pictures for us folks up to our knees in muck back here.

Perfect for sport quads nearly a mile from the boatramp!! DON'T venture down the sawgrass trails when you see it starting to get wet. YOU will be sorry, I assure you of that.

Pictures to follow, and yes at one point I was in muck up to my knees, actually higher!

Caught a few fish with my front skid plate. You guys will love the pics.

Pics from L Cross

Who says a sport quad can't mudd

Honda TRX 250

Forgot the pic

Looks like you would have been just fine out there at Macs with us this AM!!

Hi everyone. I went out to Mac's today with my son. We rode out from the boat ramp but didn't go far. We went to what looked like a dredged area. We turned around from there and snuck over to the east side for a spell. It has changed alot. The rock pits have moved way west from when I used to ride over there. I'm going to try riding off 8 street next time I go.
Thanks for the offer to get pulled around. Maybe next time.

DO NOT GO IN THROUGH 8ST AND 137.I have seen lots of people get arrested and get there bikes taken away.I used to ride there every day and night.One night I was just sitting there on my phone with my banshee and my friend on his banshee and a cop came and told us to get the F**K out before he arrests my "SORRY" ass.Then the next day they put up signs saying no tresspassing.

Just go in through the krome side.Its better anyways

Two guys I know took a pair of Raptor to that waterhole where the gator was and promptly got stuck bad. Unfortunately I couldn't go get them because I broke a CV out there and was too lazy to fix it earlier. I warned them...

How much more of the east side have they cleared anyway? The trees are rapidly disappearing..


EDIT: Had to extract them anyway. :)

I saw a bunch of riders going in off 8 street just south of the arches there is a dirt road going back into the woods from there. Thanks for the warning about 8 street 137. I'm getting so frustrated ( like everyone else) there is no place to legally ride any more. The rock pits are digging all the way up to the power lines and started demucking one spot on the west side of the power lines.
JackL your right its not worth riding over there but I had to see for myself.

I understand, I miss the East side a lot. I would have had to see for myself also.

Sorry for this dumb question but when you say the east side or west side does that mean of krome or of the dike ive never been there and want to make sure we dont get stopped by anyone.is the east side the side towards 8th street.Thanks for the help.

when your on krome  and your going straight to macs its to your right.Assuming your coming from the micosukee(Spelling?)casino side.

but you can also get in there by 8st and 137.

im coming from 27.macs is on the right were too from there do you park on the dike then cross krome or just ride on macs side
Thanks

You need to park in macs then cross chrome.

thats for 8th street right you can also ride on macs side is that where the boat ramp is?

yea

When you pull in at the Macs sign, take the gravel road left, around the lock, There is a giant parking area where the boat ramp is. The alligator video and the other stuff came from south and west areas of the dyke entering from the boat ramp.

Standing on the boat ramp looking straight out over the swamp, the east side is on your left over Krome.

If you make it out to all the way to the fishcamp, you will find some rally fliers..:)

thanks for all the help hopefully ill be out with my son saturday.

If we are lucky, it will rain a few more times like last night and you will be able to do the Holeylands.

Far superior to Macs, especially when it does start raining. I'll bet that 1.5" rain that fell last night just made riding the boat ramp twice as hard.

I've never been to Holylands. JackL isn't it all Airboat country? Is there any trail riding for sport quads? I would like to go and see but if this place is not a good place for sport quads I wouldn't want to drive that far and not be able to ride. I'm glad we got some rain but now I have even less riding options. I wish I lived closer to Croom or we had a good legal place to ride down here.

HOLRY IS AWESOME FOR SPORT QUADS ALL MY FRIENDS HAVE SPORTS AND WE LOVE IT U WILL HAVE A BLAST OUT THERE I CAN ASURE U THAT. MY FRIEND HAS A RAPTOR 700 AND LOVES IT

Cool!!! I'm on call for my job so I can't go this weekend and the mother day thing too. But watch out next weekend I'm going (if it's open) ;D

ILL BE OUT THERE MYSELF IF IT GETS OPEN UP. SO SEE YA AROUND

nice and wet

I just realized isn't the weekend after mothersday is when the rally is on 19th and 20th?
If so I guess I'll be out here the following weekend.

Oh no, Macs is the airboat country!! That is why it is great to ride right now, even in this major dry time it is still thick out there. I should post pictures of what it will look like out there in another month or so. :)

LOL, even I am not man enough to tackle that boat ramp on an ATV, air boats only in only a few more weeks....I HOPE. :) As much as I like running out there on an ATV, it needs to be deep and wet or we are in trouble in the city....big time.

You will LOVE the Holeylands on a sport quad, it takes longer to get real deep out there as well. Much larger accessible riding areas. The link in my sig has some links to info on it, If I get time I will update it with even more.

The only way I like it baby.

I say, when it does re open, we do a HoleyLand Riderz thrashing of the swamp. One thing is for sure, I'll be there.

I'll be there and ready to thrash

 :T

Hell yeah Im down.I need crazy people to ride with(Most of my friends are scared of mud cept one on a 300).People that arent SCARED to get dirty in mud.I might even go on a raptor or yfz if I play my cards right :P

Man, you guys are starting to make me think I should bring out the ATC250r to be in the game..

lol I will take my shee if it aint sold yet.If I sell it I will borrow a bike prolly a raptor or yfz

Bring it on JackL, man I miss my 250R's 1985 and 86 those were the days.
But if you do bring you 250R who's going to be the life gaurd and pull us out when we are burried? lol

LOL, I will bring em both, maybe the old 200s as well, if their is anyone stupid/crazy enough to ride it.
I got a big trailer. No Problems!! I'm sure my ute Buddy's you have seen in my pictures will be there too.

I think in tribute, this needs to be posted.
