This add was in Craigslist. The guy that manages it's name is David. They have been around only about a month. Currently they are only open from 10 to 7 on Sundays. Some buddies of mine went out today. The word is that it is nothing great but it has potential. They have a mudhole, some tight trails and there are talks of a track in the future.

The more people that support this place, the more $$$ the owners will have to develope this place into something great. So check it out!!!!

That great news. I wish it was closer to me, but any new riding area is a great thing.

dj_pizzim · August 25, 2008, 03:21:31 AM

Im trying to think were this place is 3 miles south of 60 on 301 is I75 .... are their better directions??? also do you know how big the area is?

shogun323 · August 25, 2008, 11:53:25 AM

Here you go. It is the area shaded in red.

dj_pizzim · August 25, 2008, 01:03:06 PM

ya that was the only place around there i would thing you could have some trails the whole about 3 miles thing messed me up .... it more like less than a mile. I might have to make it out that what th check it out in a week or so .... any pics yet?

jayman · August 25, 2008, 09:47:15 PM

I will be at Motoplex this Sunday but the following Sunday I will be there with my ltr, ltz and rzr!

shogun323 · August 25, 2008, 10:30:00 PM

No pics for ya pizzim. Like I mentioned, my buddies that went said it is nothing great, but it has potential.
They have a pump in the creek to keep the mudhole full and a tractor to pull people out so I guess it is quite mudder friendly.

z400250 · August 26, 2008, 12:19:44 AM

you have to go thru a cow pasture to get to the opening where the trails and the mud hole. the cow pasture is full of land mines so watch where you go.
it had rained just before i got there and the pasture was one big slick wet mess with signs that say please don't rut the pasture!!!!

i almost got the truck and trailer stuck. Covered the trailer and fourwheeler in mud before i even unloaded.
i only rode around for a few mins and left. would be great for the mudders. fourwheelers and trucks!!!

we will give it time and let them build the track then we will go back and check it out again!!

dj_pizzim · August 26, 2008, 01:53:29 AM

Im not trying to dog it .... il probally bring both the yfz and 4x4 out there to check it out but its hards to beleive the place "potential" i cant imagine its more than 15-20 acres ... if that

1FasterBlaster · August 26, 2008, 12:56:58 PM

You don't need a lot of acre's to build a MX track. That's probably when it will gain it's potential. Right now, it's mostly for mudding.

SkremenGSXR · August 30, 2008, 07:41:34 PM

Sounds like the 301 mudhole ....LOL

dj_pizzim · October 13, 2008, 11:30:54 AM

Awe man 301 was a great little spot a year ago. The ruts from the big trucks ruined for the sport guys though. Well.... actually the idiots that would steals cars and set them on fire there ruined it for everyone. I was told now they have closed it off with concrete barriers so it is inaccessible. As always........ the few spoil it for the many.

As for the spot near the crosstown, there have been a couple guys workin the trails and making some jumps. I still have yet to go. I need to check it out.

shawnley1222 · November 03, 2008, 05:48:06 AM

i've heard of it and have yet to go check it out I would like to though being it is so close to home

dj_pizzim · December 25, 2008, 08:55:12 PM

cant believe i still haven't made it out to this place .... is it still open ... im gona try to run by there tomorrow after work but has anyone been there?

kaiser1990 · January 14, 2009, 01:20:54 AM

still open i hear you cant take dirtbikes in there,

I guess that doesn not affect most of the people on this site though.

dj_pizzim · January 14, 2009, 05:50:23 AM

They are open every Sunday $10 a person .... looks like there is only 1 real mud hole .... might try to make it out there one of these days but with the small area im not in a rush to make it out there .... kinda seams like a place mainly for trucks

eldiablo64 · February 02, 2009, 10:57:28 PM

it is the 301 mudhole!the place is ok not very big but it is a place to ride.it's back behind the rodeo.went last weekend it was dusty as hell.

eldiablo64 · February 21, 2009, 01:46:42 AM

goin out there sunday the 22nd

shawnley1222 · May 18, 2009, 11:37:12 PM

what do the "trails" look like and how much of trails is there I would rather do that then run/sit in the mud hole area

shawnley1222 · June 09, 2009, 12:18:01 AM

ttt anyone rode the "trails" here?

mrbones · June 14, 2009, 10:39:12 PM

I went today. The mud hole is pretty big. Great for 4x4's. They are having timed Mud races there all month (every Sunday). No ATVs raced it today though. It was all trucks and Jeeps. You guys should go there and try it out. It was nice to see new trails.

I took at few photos.

mrbones · June 14, 2009, 10:39:52 PM

Here's one of the trails.

mrbones · June 14, 2009, 10:40:34 PM

Another of the mud hole.

mrbones · June 14, 2009, 10:41:21 PM

This bad boy was there.

mrbones · June 14, 2009, 10:43:16 PM

This is what the front entrance looks like...

mrbones · June 14, 2009, 10:43:52 PM

Its an off shoot from the parking lot of the storage place next door. So you can use that address on Mapquest to get you there.

z400250 · June 15, 2009, 01:15:04 AM

have they done anything about making a track?

mrbones · June 15, 2009, 01:21:20 AM

I didn't see a track out there. Just woods trails.

shawnley1222 · June 15, 2009, 01:40:43 AM

Its just North of the crosstown(Selmon Expressway) West side of 301

I am thinking about checking it out next sunday in my rhino, see some new trails can't hurt legal and only $10

mrbones · June 15, 2009, 06:06:27 PM

Google map link: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=1505++S+US-301,+tampa,+fl&sll=27.933666,-82.35205&sspn=0.007071,0.009656&ie=UTF8&z=17&iwloc=A

You can see the entrance with the street view.

mrbones · June 15, 2009, 06:54:35 PM

Here's some video from the place. It's Jeep video and Mud Hole 4x4 video, but you can get an idea of the place. ATVs are allowed to go any where.

z400250 · June 15, 2009, 08:45:40 PM

cool vids!!!

shawnley1222 · June 16, 2009, 01:00:27 AM

nice videos I kept looking for a guy I work with jeep(pic below) in the vids he was there this past sunday and we will both be there this sunday so I can check it out also probably got another jeep joining in the fun

shawnley1222 · June 28, 2009, 09:03:30 PM

Went out there today nice little ride spot for a few hours(didnt take us long to hit all the trails

) but its nice since its only $10 and 20 minutes away I got my rhino high centered once in one of those spots from where the jeeps were in but cleared everything else I tried

took 2 pics today 1 of the jeep with the front shaft in finally and one of a blazer that was stuck and still was when I left they had been workin on it for at least an hour

(right after the strap broke)

mrbones · July 16, 2009, 09:28:42 PM

We got a thread going on www.JeepFlorida.com going about this place if there are any 4x4 owners out there.

Madhatter · June 21, 2011, 08:08:43 PM

Is this place still open?

mrbones · June 21, 2011, 08:24:09 PM

Good question. I haven't been out there in two years. Anybody?

shawnley1222 · June 21, 2011, 09:04:15 PM

JOE3504x4 · June 22, 2011, 01:24:21 AM

Shut down indefinitely!!! My shop is right around the corner from there, its the 301 rodeo.

jakjust · August 03, 2011, 07:35:26 PM

Is this place still open and can you take a kid there to ride dirtbikes?

mrbones · August 03, 2011, 07:53:25 PM

Unfortunately not.

jakjust · August 03, 2011, 08:14:29 PM

Thanks Bones... Do you know of anywhere in the Tampa or surrounding area to ride?

mrbones · August 03, 2011, 08:23:11 PM

The two closest are Croom and Dirty Foot. They are just about equal distance from Tampa depending where you are exactly. They are listed on the Where to Ride page.
