Withlacoochee Raked In $1.1 Million Last Year
Since permits became mandatory in 2002, the Croom Motorcycle Area has become a major source of revenue for the Florida Division of Forestry.
Depending on which time of year they are purchased, permits for motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles can cost up to $50 per machine.
For fiscal year 2006-2007, the state collected $792,215 from those who used the Croom Motorcycle Area, according to figures obtained by the Division of Forestry.
That does not include the fees for Withlacoochee State Forest overnight campers who pay for access to the motorcycle area.
The state park brought a total of more than $1.1 million in revenue during the last fiscal year, according to the Division of Forestry.
So where in the hell is this money GOING? Not spent in trail grooming that is for sure!!!!!!
