Title: Massive flooding causes us to postpone SSQSA Races Post by: Paul_S on February 13, 2010, 07:54:18 PM A local river has broke it's banks and we now have a constant flow of water coming across the property. This has caused us to have to postpone the upcoming SSQSA MX & SSQSA XC races this weekend. Sorry.
Just to give those of you who know the property an idea of how bad (good if you ride a 4x4 lol) it is, the pond now stretches from Hike Lake Road (yes it's touching the road), across the big mud drag pit (it is completely covered by water) up to the pine trees where we used to store the big old container, past the side by side mud drags (which are also completely engulfed by the pond) across the main trail, and then across the old old peewee track and into the neighbors property. On the other side, the pond is also all the way up to the back of the new mx track and getting seriously close (a couple of pine rows) to the new camping area. Snows forty has completely filled up and the water is also across the main trail.

The 7 mile loop and Witches Coven one way trails are pretty dry, but you first have to cross a few isolated spots on the main trail where the water is ~6" deep.

The water is flowing hard. Truthfully I challenge anywhere in Florida right now to match our park for miles of rack deep swamp trails.
