You can put up to 4 people on the deed.

River Ranch is great for all kinds of riding.

I personally think it's the best place in Florida to ride.

I was out there tearing it up on a 450 R yesterday,

You can ride all day without going the same way twice.

There's no real jumps, but you can find a few places to launch from if you look hard enough.

It's not all whopped out like Croom or Ocala.

Let me know when you're going out there, I'll meet you out there and we can tear it up.

I know i as a former sport rider when you say "tear it up",you mean riding,but I'd becareful using that phrase,some people might take it the wrong way,and you might catch alot of un-needed attention.

I too would like some info. I would consider a partial deed with others. Ocala is real far. I am getting Croom stickers in July, that will cut my drive in half for a while. :P Could somebody pm me with particulars, as in legitamatacy issues and stuff. I heard there were some bad deals going on at E-BAY  or something. I am very interested but I dont want to get smoked. Thanks

River Ranch is actually a hunting camp.  Vast majority of riders are on utes and it's my opinion that they are better out there.  Any time it rains the trails are under water.  If you don't drive a 4wd truck you won't be able to get to your camp when the rains hit.  There is no night riding outside of the camp ground.  During the hunting season beware!  If you ride in the hunting area you may become a target for the serious hunters!

The places we rode this weekend there is no way a sport quad would have made it.  Plenty of areas but the loud pipes and two strokes are frowned on.  Also, before you consider a deed do realize that there has been serious talk of banning sport quads and dirt bikes out there.  So if you get one you may have to switch to a ute.

Remember this is a hunting camp first!  Riding is just something that happens to be there as well.  Also a side note....I agree that Croom and ONF are whooped out.  But realize that out at RR the vast majority are on utes.  It's been rode for many years and it's not whooped out.  It's the two stroke quads and dirt bikes that cause all the whoops.  So if you are going to use them out there please be kind and stay even on the gas.  It's the on and off the gas crap that whoops out all these areas.
Plan on getting soaked!
