who ever is riding 41st by the jail, if your one of the people racing up and down the road by the jail your gonna start getting arrested and there gonna shut it down, cop was there and was kicking people out cause the idiots racing there banshees up and down the road. the plant thats there they dont mind that we ride there, but the jail is giving a lot of complaints about whoever is racing on the street.

I hate that the paintballers that have destroyed 137ave & sw 8st. if you see the incredible mess these guys have made you'd barf!!!, trash & garbage everywhere they play and park.
Now they have set up a new field just south of where the people who ride atv's park. I hope they get arrested for the mess the paintballers have made there!!!!

have you guys been to the Big Cypress National Preserve (Oasis Trail)?

any thoughts about riding there?

AintSkeered · January 16, 2012, 07:31:42 PM

Tough rules and too-flooded most of the year, including right now(this is usually the dry season).

I agree. The rules are heavily enforced.

ROGI · January 19, 2012, 12:10:00 PM

what heavy rules?
the only think that sux are the wild gator in our path.

What heavy rules?

You must have an ORV operator's license.

You must have your ATV visually inspected and meet the criteria for permitting.

You must buy a permit ($50) each year.

All designated trails now. Get caught off a trail and lose your privileges for a year. Do it a second time and get your ATV taken away, a huge fine levied against you and your privileges taken away forever. (I've seen it happen)

15mph speed limit. And yeah, they're enforcing it. I was in over this past weekend and there were NPS rangers on the trail watching.

3 month closed period every year for anyone except property owners.

A genuine dislike of the ATV crowd by everyone down there thanks to bad apples using the place as a mud bog and trespassing on private property.

So, thats what we mean by heavy rules.

I had a permit there 06-10 but didn't renew 2011 due to health problems. Some of my best rides were there! The permit process isn't difficult and the inspection was more for your own safety. Even with the rules it's a great place to ride and enjoy the beauty of the Everglades. It's worth spending $50 just to try it out!

mtbatvrider · March 19, 2012, 01:32:14 PM

Hey zman what day are you going out there?

rdm225 · March 26, 2012, 10:11:42 AM

Sunday morning it looked like half of miami was at 8 th and 137th

zman03 · March 26, 2012, 07:56:24 PM

I drove by sunday about 2-3 o'clock there was probably 50 trucks with trailers. I like it when its bone dry out there, there is still a little water in spots (nothing you can't go around). Its ridable. I like to go sun about 9am-1 pm then Im outta there.

I_N_3 · May 07, 2012, 03:25:08 PM

Has anyone been out here since the fire?

zman03 · May 07, 2012, 08:45:32 PM

great time to make new trails through the woods!!!! most of where the fire was is all dry trails not mud. the closer you stay to the south, the dryer it is. lots of mud to the north. and a little shower hit the area this afternoon.

rdm225 · May 23, 2012, 11:37:57 AM

Anyone riding this area anymore since the fire? 8th and 137th ave.

zman03 · May 23, 2012, 06:55:55 PM

I walked the wooded area prospecting some dry trails :N Im so glad people in miami ride the streets

I'll stick with the dry woods all day long under the shade
