Can someone tell the new guy what river ranch is???  I thought the last time I went to River Ranch it was an RV only park.  Can you ride ATV's at River Ranch now???  Do you have to owner property in order to ride?Huh

Thanks in Advance.

River ranch is a 60K+ acre hunting park. You can ride ATV's also. Lots of trails...I rode all day and didn't get to see it all. It is very wet and muddy in places. You do have to own property there to hunt or ride. There is a camping area where owners can set up camps. Unfortunately, the camping area is littered with abandoned RV's. Owners can bring guests but there is a fee. My neighbor owns there and took me along. I have heard rumors that the state is going to take it over for environmental reasons (that would suck) but I haven't been able to confirm.

From what I heard the state Is buying a few sections in RR, and is asking people to voluntarily sale their land.

Correct me if I'm wrong,but isnt RR 100,000 acres+,40,000+ on the one side of 60,and 60,000+ on the otherside........and as far as owning property,well.........I know of people that have been riding out there for 10+ years and dont own property within 100 miles of there,hell I just rode there last Sunday myself and there were about 10 people in our group,none of which owned property there,we parked at Thomas' Landing and rode out of there.........and yes it was wet in places,sometimes 4ft deep,but also it was dry and dusty on the trails,so theres alittle bit of evrything,water,mud,dry susty trails,etc,etc

I have only been there once and I had to go through a gate where they checked if you were owner or guest. If I recall, the property I rode was on the south side of 60 and the gate was on 630. Can you ride the north side of the property? Where is Thomas' Landing?

I'm closing on a quick claim deed on this upcoming Friday the 25th. Once I buy this deed, I can ride anytime. After I ride the first time, I'll start inviting people to meet me out there, I think you can bring 4 guests per day.

I'm from Lakeland, and I ride a Honda 450R.

If you're down for tearing it up out there, drop me an email and I'll set up some group rides for the day.

4xplay, you were on the "north side" it's alot smaller than the other side, but yes you can get in without owning property. I actually have property and a camp in there, but alot of people who ride there dont.

I have heard RR is very wet right now due to heavy rainfall...no fun for sport quads. Anyone know if the north side tends to be drier than the south?

I know the side that runs along the bombing range has some pretty dry open trails.


Just be careful you don't see any B-52's near that fence line and you should be good to go.

JFYI... There is a gate going in on the north side according to the latest RRPOA newsletter. The free ride is over!

Thomas Landings is a campground for RVs.  There are also 5 RVs that you can rent for like $60 a night, and you can also rent a cabin for $120 a night.  There is a gas pump right there so you dont have to worry about gas, and there is also a general store.  You cant camp there in tents yet, but the owner is trying to get the county to alow it, there is a lot of great riding there.  There is even a lake that is PERFECT for hydroplaning.  For directions, you can visit the web site at http://www.thomaslanding.com/, but if you call that number, get ready to talk to a very nice woman for hours (she is a very nice, old woman that likes to talk A LOT Smiley.)

you cannot get or be on rr property with out being a owner or a owners guest!!! how about you calling the prez pete or bill hosler and tell them you are riding out there without permission!! you will be arrested if caught!!Any questions call Bill Hosler 863-421-4450!!! I have been owner since 82 and pay my dues and taxes every year!! you people that break rules are the ones that get and give bad reps to 4 wheelers in general!!most of these land owners take this place very serious and would be more than glad to take people as guests if asked!!People must follow rules.This is what helps us fight for OUR land so the state cannot take it!Ask the man that got the ticket for ridding in wet weather pond and chopper landed and give him a ticket. if he was not a owner he would have had action taken against him by rr board!  I would be careful ridding here if not owner or guest!

If you want an acre in RR, you better buy now.  They are going up in price.  Just a few weeks ago I search the county records and an acre + have sold for as much as $6,700. I know this sounds crazy but it's demand that cause prices to go up. Alot of new members at RR every weekend in search of a camp site. BUT.... Be careful who you buy from.

Good luck.

Lets clarify this. RR is not an ATV park. It is a private hunting preserve that allows OHV use to get around as their are no paved roads. If we try to use this place as an ATV park, I am sure we will upset the hunters and management their. I noticed posts from the sport bike crowd. A speed limit exists for all of river ranch that I forget, but it is slow enough to make a boring time for the sport bikes unless they break the rules and speed in the preserve. I have no problem with sport bikes. However, last weekend our group was almost run off the main grade by a group of 5-6 sport bikes going at least 35-40 MPH. Later that day, I saw this same group cut off a swamp buggy on main grade and almost hit him. This type of behavior will get us banned from RR. I am a deed holder and have a camp that I enjoy and would be upset to loose this place like all the rest.
