Same type of riding as Big Cypress. Deep, wet, rocky and muddy.

JoelandNicole · May 29, 2009, 10:52:00 AM

not to be a pain in the a** but how do you know its legal. is there a specific place to park?

JoelandNicole · June 03, 2009, 09:07:56 AM

so how about the jet park??

So, Dirty, what happens when you meet someone going the other way? You take a huge chunk out of them like the tree? Please always ride like someone is coming the other way. Don't want to kill some kid out there do you? Can't just say sorry and life goes on after that. Thanks. Dawn

JoelandNicole · July 20, 2009, 10:59:18 AM

I'm down in Naples and know of nothing in the immediate area. Riding in Bonita seems to depend on how the local police are feeling that particular day. Hopefully Collier County and SWFWM get their act together and locate a worthwhile place to ride. Redneck Yacht Club is the closest I've found.

better parking at the end of terry st. or off vincent road? are they out in force on weekends?

dirtycruiser · August 11, 2009, 08:26:09 PM

I was out there a few weekends ago in my landcruiser, the place was empty. no one in sight. park back off of east terry by the wells off of Bonita Grande.

dirtycruiser · December 03, 2009, 06:25:28 PM

Still going out to Bonita quite often. Always see quads playing there. Tons of trailers sat and Sundays. Park off of Terry Someone is cutting new trails back there, truck width. i go down all the time with my fj cruiser and play. I've been trimming the friggin trees and bushes along terry so I can make it through with minimal bush burn.

JoelandNicole · July 05, 2010, 10:56:15 AM

JoelandNicole · July 05, 2010, 10:57:23 AM

any new places in the area to go? got a new 6 wheeler i want to try out

Krazyivan · July 05, 2010, 02:13:22 PM

Hello there I'm also from Naples
I was looking to buy ATV or a Cross bike and from what I'm reading here it's the choice comes to neither...
Any recent updates on the Law in SW Florida
From what I heard ATV are completely band in Colier
Are there any places to ride legally and not to worry for parking space or for a good/bad day of a police officer?

Is the track at Redneck Yaht Club more of a 2x4 ATV or it's more muddy for 4x4

Thanks

P.S. You can go to Big cypres with a permited ATV but 2 wheel motorcycles ar not permited in the area?

WTF

lawnman58 · July 05, 2010, 09:33:53 PM

here you go http://www.thundercrossmxpark.com/

johndoe83 · July 05, 2010, 09:54:24 PM

Im not sure thats the same thundercross?

the directions kinda threw me off and yahoo didnt do the best job finding the address?

this is off of beeline right? thats where the old thundercross was? it had a oval track, mud pits, mx/atv track, huge trail system?

I think this one is new? and not in the same spot?

Does this one even allow atvs?

Krazyivan · July 06, 2010, 03:33:10 AM

Nice track only thing it's not to close to SW Coast

Any body ride in Seminole Motocross? do they allow ATV

zman03 · July 06, 2010, 08:19:46 AM

Yes, seminole allows sport quads!!! this is one of the best tracks in the state!!!

Try Google... Copy and paste the address from the site and Google map will put you right on top of it.

JoelandNicole · July 07, 2010, 05:49:48 PM

all the info is great but anything closer to S.W. florida? some kind of "hidden spot" or something? i got a new 6 wheeler i'm looking to test out.

johndoe83 · July 07, 2010, 06:33:45 PM

Sounds like your in the same situation as me, I live on the east south east side, the closest place for me is L-Cross, it takes me near 2 hours just in drive time.

Unless you race mx, from the top of lake okeechobee down to the keys, there is nowhere for us to ride!!!

Someone needs to wright the congress men or hold a protest.

Ive been thinking of trying the protest, getting hundreds of atvs together and taking over a parking lot or showing up at the court house and demanding some type of ride area.

It may work better locally to get them to allow us to ride on the roads again, they made us pay to get the green sticker, then they changed the law for riding on the roads. A big scam for money!!

zman03 · July 07, 2010, 08:25:02 PM

Dude I hate to say it but your a couple of years late! The whole protest thing? I welcome you to try to get some support from the atv community!!!! FAT CHANCE!!!!!!!!! A spot to ride a 6 wheeler??? GOOD LUCK!!!!!!! if the guys that ride 2 and 4 wheels cant get organized I think your gonna find yourself alone in that parking lot your gonna protest in. I started a Pledge form on the open discussion forum PLEASE FILL IT OUT !!!!!! I suggest you craiglist that 6 wheeler and hope someone buys it!!!!
