I remember long ago when we were allowed in the Picayune ( Badluck / Squares ) when people would talk about the place being shut down. No one believed it would happen, and all of the sudden “Closed for Ever”.   Last time we rode out at Holey Land, a FWC officer said because of accidents, death, wreck less riding, and most of all – the trash out there, that the place has been under the scope of County officials and they are looking forward to closing the place down for OHV use.  I don’t know about you guys but I love to ride out at Holey Land.  Not only is it legal to ride there, but it’s the only place to ride for Dade, Broward & Palm Beach riders. It’s also the only place were you can camp over night and ride like you want outside the levees.

For those that haven’t enjoyed Holey Land to it’s fullest you guys don’t know what your missing. Lots of people say it’s mostly for 4x4,  it’s true when it’s wet but when the water levels go down sports and dirt bikes can ride through most of the open land out there.

With all this said, I would like to schedule a clean up ride at Holey Land with members of this site. The crew at AMX brought this up a while back but we need to do something soon before this place becomes a thing of the past. We would like to schedule a date where lots of people can show up.  We are looking at Sat Feb 3rd, some of us will camp out the day before and anyone is welcome to join us. Any suggestions are welcomed.

Clean up will begin at 10 AM Sat 3rd through 1PM and then WE RIDE !

If you would like to attend please post it.

Keep this thread going so it doesn't lose any steam.  I'll have one of my guys bring out a small dump truck to load the trash into.  It disgusts me everytime I go out there that people choose to be such pigs.  What would be even more effective is if everyone who cares about Holeylands would pick up a couple of trash bags worth of junk everytime they went.  It wouldn't be such a mess out there.  We're never going to change the idiots because they're not even on here to read about it.  But we can take a proactive stance and improve our own chances of keeping this excellent riding area open.

Dreth, I think the water levels will not be a issue. We are starting our dry season and SFWM are already talking about water shortages.

I would like to come also.I'm already planning on the protest on the 29th. I'm hoping everybody will come together finally.We don't have to stop at this site, we also need to fight for other riding spots too.
  We need to seriously protest all the usual spots like Croom and Ocala too.People ride there and I think it's a matter of safety that we should let them know it needs to be properly maintained.

Anybody that rides Holeylands needs to be there.  I was there yesterday and picked up about 2 dozen water bottles just cruising around (I forgot to bring trash bags - I could have easily filled two 55 gallon bags).  Don't forget.... Saturday, February 3rd!!!!!

Ida, it's out off of US27 at the Broward / Palm beach county line - A good drive from PSL, but doable. I can't personally make it that weekend, as I have a work conflict. I would like to make a suggestion though. Has anyone contacted the Broward airboat & half track club or the Palm Beach club? Those guys have poker runs out there, and a lot of them bring quads. Maybe a joint effort?? Might be a good way to spread good will with the hunters / buggy crowd as well.

Hey Ida,

Early February is still pretty wet out there.  Unless you have a 4x4, I wouldn't travel that far at that time to ride.  If you hold off until March, the riding out there is awesome.  Miles and miles of flat out running (don't do it on the levies or in the parking areas!!!) or just casually cruising along taking in the beauty of the Everglades.  Of course, you are more than welcome to join us in cleaning up this most excellent riding area!  Hope to see you there.

you mean I would need a 4X4 truck to get to park? or need a utility ATV to ride out there?

I was talking about a ute.  Bring the Rubicon!  They do real well out there, particularly if you have good mud tires.  You can find quite a few areas to ride the EX but you are definitely limited.  It's still too wet to really enjoy a sport quad out there.  I had my Raptor out there last Saturday but ended up staying on or near the levies (always dry) where it tends to be a bit drier this time of year.  As far as access, you can get out there with anything.  You won't need a 4x4 truck at all.  The road is paved most of the way and then it's hard packed limestone from there on.
