Well i know of 2 places you can legally ride in Polk county.. Dirty Foot Adventures and Triple Canopy Ranch. I don't know about any one else but when i decided to spend a few thousand dollars on a ATV i checked to see where i could legally ride before i bought one.

Key word "LEGALLY"

SMP63 · December 18, 2011, 08:48:16 AM

Rode out there Friday night with a deed owner. Bumped into 6 Polk Sheriffs & a couple wildlife officers on wheelers & a 4 seat Ranger @ different times & locations. It was nice & quiet out there! Went by there yesterday on my way to Lakeland & laughed because people were parking on that guys property again. I new it was a matter of time before the sheriffs would be there!

So SMP63 if you own property your good to go? It sounded like they fenced the place off and restricted everyone. I could not see them stopping property owners that would be a lawsuit in the making. Now how can they prove your own property or are riding with the permissing of a property owner?

FORDFANZ · December 19, 2011, 11:11:23 AM

all they Have to do is search the Property Appraisers office if your name is on the Deed your good to go !!!!

Hey just wanted to let everyone know that some friends of mine were arrested out at rancho as soon as they entered the gate!!!! The officers said the land owner of one specific tract of land had his land surveyed and anyone that entered on his property was to be arrested. The vehicles were impounded.....police said it was zero tollerence and warnings were not to be given!!! Of course this one land owner has the property right off HWY 54 where everyone enters. The land owners last name is Bedi and he is working with the county to shut down rancho. I understand a lot of crimes go on out there but it sucks for the people who just want to ride around and have fun!!! Just a warning....I talked to the tow truck guy who impounded our stuff and he said 117 people were arrested there last weekend.....I dont want to see it happen to anyone else. We even had one of the land owners on the phone and the police said they didnt care if we had permission or not, fight it out in court!!!!

SMP63 · December 23, 2011, 03:16:36 AM

Sorry went out of town hunting. Yes Patches if you are a deed owner you can ride out there. According to the officers we spoke to that Friday night, if you are a guest of a deed owner you
need a permission slip from the deed owner with your name or names & the deed owners contact info. Agree with FORDFANZ. As far as I know if you are caught parking on that property you speak of kortmae yes you are going for a ride!!!!

they can only tresspass you on that paticular lot. The main entrance gate is a dirt road that SHOULD be free for anyone to travel on since it was supposed to be a road into the subdivision. Not worth the risk IMHO to ride out there anyways, Croom is only about 30mins away and is much better than that trash-ridden swamp.

Thunderdually · December 23, 2011, 02:00:37 PM

Any way you look at it they are riding on property that belongs to some one else. (Not Them). If you look around there are places to ride legally. If more people would support those places that are legal we might see more private and state ATV trails.

This why I bought land in Suburban Estates 10000 acres and no drama !!!!!!!!

It was bound to happen sooner or later. I've lived next to rancho for over 40 years and also own land inside, What a mess it's become! Riders coming into our pasture at all hours and tearing down gates. I can hear the loud ATV's sometimes until early morning, cows get agitated, dogs barking all hours. I quit worrying about my 10 lots since they are all chewed up and trash everywhere. I wonder how these riders would feel if this was happening to them. We all had a good place to ride but now I will help shut it down any way I can!

SMP63 · January 08, 2012, 04:33:47 AM

Welcome to the forum Jeeper. I can't say i blame you. When i first started to ride out there i started to pick the area i parked @. Had it all picked up, missed 3 weekends going out there & on the 4 weekend it looked like it did when i started parking there so i gave up!!!! Its a crying shame people are like that now days. Total lack of respect!!!!!!!!!!!

Kawa3 · January 09, 2012, 01:19:31 AM

The worst part about it is, the ones that trash it are the first to whine and complain and don't understand why it was shut down....

I had a lot of fun out at rancho. Now it appears I have to go else where for short trips.

mrbones · January 09, 2012, 06:38:01 AM

Really? When was the last time you were really there?

How's the weather where you're at?
