hey gang, i just bought 2 new honda ranchers for me and the wife. i would like some info on the requirements at holey lands to ride, thanks

out at holylands you are suppose to have a flag on your bike for your safety, in the sawgrass the fourtrax cant see you, as well on the levee, dont exceed the speed limit. fwc will ticket you.

thanks brett, i was reading somewhere i have to get a sticker from the dmv for these too, is that true?

Anything you need to know just ask or PM me. Welcome to the site !

I don't think you need the
ohv stickers out there as half of my friends have them and half do not. It does seem that the officers there show a little more slack if you do have them. Make sure you fly your flags and bring a extra 1 just in case. I had 2 extra's a few weeks ago and sold them to a father son combo who had no flags for exactly what i paid for them.Make sure you have a good strap or winch cause with stock tires you will get stuck.

Have fun

Copies/pamphlets of the rules are in a box on the Everglades WMA sign south side of the first bridge where most park. And, more can be found on the Holeylands sign north side of the pump house 8 miles west.

Per the FWC website listed under PUBLIC ACCESS & VEHICLES paragraph 12
"No person shall operate any all-terrain vehicle, motorized 2-wheeled vehicle or motorized 3-wheel vehicle unless it is equipped with an orange flag at least 10 inches wide and 12 inches long and displayed at a minium height of 6 feet above the top of the seat".

All riders under the age of 16 must wear a helmet and eye protection.

There are plenty of dry areas to ride. 

sure do appreciate the info  guys, thanks alot
