If you were a land owner you would know the answer to that Question.

The officers stationed out there now wanted proof of ownership in the development, proof of registration of the bikes, titles to the bikes and even then we were told could only ride on property actually owned, not even on the dirt roads, as Okeechobee County has already opted out of the state law.  Another area bites the dust!

I heard the same thing, not a landowner, no go.  I also heard that sherrif office was hitting it hard out there. 

You know again, you, the same old story, I saw it coming.  Although we have not been there in awhile, friends have property there, what people were doing to the north end, it was just a matter of time.  I guess some people think it is okay to leave their trash behind, while others think it is okay to go blasting by people's house at 2 am.  While even others take the risk of riding 4-wheelers, and then when they do something stupid, say hey, I can sue and make some money.  So you can thank all the related above idiots for pretty much putting an end to that.....

We used to go out there alot too, but we don't really anymore.  The last time had to be almost a year ago, and we met up w/the sheriff and he specificaly told us that it things were really going to change out there.  Several things had been going on, the last thing was that someone was riding what some call catfish hole, others call redneck beach, and they got hurt.  So then they were suing the Coquinas Water Mgmt District.  That was pretty much the nail in coffin.  The Sheriff also mentioned that many owners had complained about people driving up down the roads all hours of the night, for people do live out there.  And of course, the trash always left behind at the north-end.  That same weekend we ran into the Game Warden twice.  Also, the Sheriff was waiting at the on the paved road for any riders that came out.  They were pulling them over, looking for proof of ownership, ATV Registeration, DUI, ect, (you name it), the were looking for it.  So you just got lucky, that's all.

Since are ATVs where registered, and we where with actual property owners, they were very nice.  But we were basically told, that it was being shutdown.

Well, that was sometime ago, and I hear now that it has come to pass.  The old saying is just because you have not had any problems, well it probably means you have just been lucky.  For what I saw that weekend, the law was really tight out there, and yes they will take your ride, and yes they will fine you.  So just take it as you have been warned.  It is a shame, cause there was some really nice riding in the Northend.  But I don't need the hassle, even though we are very considerate riders.  Again, that nit-wits ruined it for everyone else...

You don't have to be such an not a very nice person about it.Whenever I'm out their I keep speed/noise down and always pick up after myself.The area where we ride we have no problems and no one else does either.If you have somthing negative to say keep it to yourself.And its not illegal we have permission from the land owner and he was with us at the time.

Actually it's illegal to operate an ATV on any property out there other than the property you own. Okeechobee opted out on the ATV law just like most countys have. The cops are out there so just because you haven't run into them doesn't mean they aren't there it just means you've been lucky so far. Most of my friends bought property elsewhere for riding.
