There's a couple ways to get out there depending on where you live. I'd normally take US1 to 13 (CR 204) and choose just about any road on the left and go as far back as it'll let ya. Or you can take 207 to South Main Street and it turns into 13 (CR 204). I believe that most people turn down Reid Packing House Rd and just take that all the way to the back. Its been a little more than a year since ive rode out there.

Dubs....if you are going from Jacksonville, take 95 south to 207 towards Hastings (est 12 miles) once you get into Hastings, take a left on main street (Church's Chicken/Kangaroo storee combo on the corner) go down approximately 2 miles you will come to an open yard with a "windmill" off of the road, take that right on the next street it'll be Reids Packinghouse Road, follow that road all of the way to the VERY end, go left and you'll go about 100 yards and you'll see trucks and trailers on the right, park and have fun!

just be careful out there....the water filled ditch on the left hand side of the rode across from where everyone parks is where I shot a big fat water moccassin last week. After shooting it, we tried to retrieve it to get it out of the water but it squirmed under water and out of site. Mark was actually coming down the ditch and the snake was heading towards him from the other direction.
I am confident that the snake is dead now as we saw the hole in his head as he layed up side down in the water....Everyone just be careful and be prepared!!!!

We were there saturday also. Had allot of fun. We found an awesome place near the creek under the powerlines. That stuff was awesome. Rode it down for almost a mile and a half before it dried up. Our group was a blue sportsman, red honda with aftermarket rims and tires, and a red prarie with black snorkels if anyone saw us.

Can you ride at Hastings during the week too, or just on weekends. Never been there.

All day everyday. Until hunting season anyway, then you gotta show a little respect.

I don't remember seeing a blue Sportsman. I was on a blue Brute Force.

IF ITS AT THE END OF REDS PACKING HOUSE ROAD IT IS THE RIGHT PLACE. AND IT IS NOT A SMALL PATCH OF WOODS THERE IS LIKE 10,000 ACRES TO RIDE OUT THERE. JUST TAKE A G.P.S WITH YOU IT IS EASY TO GET LOST OUT THERE. AND WATCH FOR SNAKES AND GATORS IN THE CREEK BY THE WAFFLE TOPS. WAS THERE YESTERDAY AND SEEN A FOUR FOOTER. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS E-MAIL ME AND I CAN TELL YOU.

We went to Hastings today for the first tim and this is a pretty awsome place. Lots of trails and wide open spaces to stretch the legs out on the 4 wheelers. Didn't see any snakes but alot of wildlife running around. There was a few other people out there riding and they said you can camp out there. Has anybody else done this? The best part is the price and its only 1 hour from Jax. If anybody is thinking about going it is definately worth the trip. Dixie N., thanks for the info about this place. Might see you out there sometime.
