I heard about this place about two years ago. One of my customers told me about it. He said he rides his dirt bike out their. I will try to get directions but it might be a few days. He said that the trails are marked and it was not far from Lake Butler going around the east side of the lake on the paved road going north and the look for the signs.

I'll post more when I find out more.

Well I had a chance to go look for the place I posted directions to and I drove and drove 12 miles out of Lake Butler nothing but woods with gates.

Maybe better directions will come from someone else. Sorry :(

It sounds like Magnum330 tried to find this place and had a problem finding it. I would like better directions or maybe make a trip over there to see if I can find it before we plan a ride. Maybe I can check it out one day next week and then plan it. Next weekend is the mud bog at ocean pond in Dixie county and I will probably be there. Come join us out there.

Yea after posting all them directions I thought I better go take a look for my self. I took the directions off after I couldn't find the place. Maybe by Monday someone will have better directions.

Hey if you all wanted to get a group ride planned let me know. My father owns 10 acres in Lake Butler. We could set up camp at his place and go from there. He has a nice pond, and lots of room. We go up there a couple times a month.
