Title: My thoughts and feelings on the Ocala NF trail system Post by: wilburz on November 26, 2007, 11:10:39 AM Please feel free to add to this discussion. I was up there Friday through sunday. I don't like the idea of having to pay to ride so I don't even have one of those dumb green stickers. Probably not a good idea but that is how i roll. I don't have proof of purchase either. We rode Friday for a few hours and stayed away from the trailheads. The trails up by Hog Valley are not to bad. But there are quite a few people using them and going fast around blind curves. You can just sit on the other side of the turn and wait for them. It's a joke. We did drive our truck down to Rodman and there were alot of trailers there and 2 forest volunteers. You take a yellow envelope from them and put in 10 bucks for 3 days. Not too bad. So I bought one so I would be semi legal just in case the man stopped us. Saturday we drove all the way over to delancy west campground. The place was packed like sardines with atvers. That is one part of the trail system to stay away from. you will get killed there. way toomany riders going to fast.Next year you will not be allowed to ride double. anytime or place unless you have a double atv. i like the place but am not going to pay each time. i will take my chances.

Since they started the trail system, I haven't been back there. From what I hear, it's not the same.
Maybe we should go there and Rally against what they've done!!
