Title: Big Cypress water level
Post by: danfl on May 06, 2010, 01:12:36 PM
Does anyone know how the water level is there? I have not been a few months. Wanted to take the kid for a ride.

It was up in April. It was such a wet winter, it's higher than normal. However, I don't think it's too deep for fourwheelers now.

Remember, you can't ride doubles in the BICY and you've got to have your permits and stickers. Big fines for violations on any of these items.

It was very deep in mid-April, before we had that week of heavy rain! Water up to seats in some areas. Two out of the three of us sliced tires wide open and I choked mine with water. As you know, there's no roadside assistance out there and on those kind of days you can ride all day without seeing anyone(to help you).

It was ass deep  in some trails ,it all depended on where you went, but over all this spring is much higher than any other year I can recall.
Even though 1995 was a record year for high water levels, I dont recall the spring being so high then.
The summer was a different story .

Wait till Anoriginal sees your post. He knows the most about it. I have rode there a few times. Water is always too deep, a lot of rules (highly enforced), Hot as balls there most of the time, easy to get lost, bumpy as hell. And not easy on the tires. F-that.

Like Aintskeered said. Ripped my Vampires and my buddies MudBugs like nothing. 6 plugs and 15 miles later I made it back to my rig. Brutal!! Coral rock.
