Hey,
i am new to the forums, they seem amazingly helpful, i wish i had a forum like this when i use to ride in upstate NY. anyway,i will be getting stationed at eglin, ill be there around march and i will be getting another ATV and i was wondering what if any trails are near there? Also im not quite sure which quad i should get, i know its mostly a matter of opinion but a little input never hurt. i use to own a KFX 700 i like the fact that it could go through alot mud and what not never once got stuck on a trial. it was a little heavy bent the stock tie rods in less than a month of owning it. got rid of it when i joined the military, and im torn between getting a sport quad or a 4x4. what would be best for the trials in and around Florida? i prefer trail riding never have done any MX

Thanks, i appreciate any help!
Jim

Hello and welcome to the site!

Check out Tate's Hell State Forest and Blackwater River State Forest. I don't know if Blackwater is ready yet since it is a new area getting ready to open.

Here's the official link for Florida state riding areas, http://floridaohv.org/ohv_locations.html (http://floridaohv.org/ohv_locations.html)

I found this recent thread here about the area.
