ATV Florida Forum

ive herd that there is going to be an atv park being built on indrio- road in ft. pierce    st. lucie county   can any yall give me more info?

There WAS an atv park being talked about... 750 acres out by the airport in Ft. Pierce. Search around the site.. I know someone posted an update saying that the plan had basically been scrapped and now they are going to take bids to lease the proprty for more cattle grazing land.....  Surprise, surprise.....  >:(

that figures,,they talk it up,,atv sales go up,,then they shoot us down again....something seems fishy

Unfortunately the hurricanes had a lot to do with it. We were really close, then the storms kept delaying the meetimgs. After the storms the damage to city hall delayed it even more. Then there was a new election and 2 key officials that were all for it weren't re-elected. That is why we are right back were we started.

Go to Best Buy Vehicles "Polaris dealer" in fort pierce they have all the info but last I heard not enough people were stepping up to get involed, at Best Buy they have stacks of petitions

Is this the place that's in between 95, and the Turnpike on Okechobee? If so I've been there a few times. Good riding honestly. Cops asked us to leave though.

yet another thing messed up from the hurricanes.

Why can't we share the grazing with the cattle ?  :N

People need to start writing to their City and County Commisioners and Sate legislators.....
there is ALLOT of land unused in Florida.....we just need to get secure access to it, whether it be buying it or 75 year leases......whatever.
   But I bet if 50 people read this, maybe two will do something.
  It all comes down to apathy and the feeling of 'let someone else do it'.
  Well, now I have a $4500 ATV with new wheels and tires that I have to truck 54 miles to ride in Ocala national Park.   I can truck it down to Scottsmore....but who knows how long that land will remain rideable.  We need Brevard County to buy that area and designate it as "ATV trails".  Volusia County (Daytona/Deland) has allot of open land west of I-95 and north and south of State Road 40.   
   Nothing will get done by posting here though.........so write a letter.

There is alot of untouched land in Brevard that is designated as public use, but only bikes, horses, and pedestrians are considered the public. The county government here is saturated with friends of developers, and gray hairs. It's hard to say how long Scottsmoor will remain a riding area, I'd say it's a matter of months till that area is shut down. As far as Brevard buying it, never happen, cost is way out there for swampland.

Dude, 54 miles aint chit man. I have to trailer mine for up 120 miles sometimes for a decent place to ride.
