is it still OK to camp up here? thinking of going up this weekend and would be nice to camp since the temps have finally dropped a bit.

we went up yesterday and the entire place was under water. the only things above water was the road to the parking lot, the gate, and then maybe a couple hundred square feet of parking.

how is the river looking up there?  heard on the news there was some flooding...  thinking of going up there tomorrow.

we were there about 10 days ago and there was a lot of mud and the river was much higher then what it has been in the past.  still fun tho.   

have yo guys heard of Race Pond ATV Park? 

http://www.racepondatvpark.com

looks like it will be opening on March 13th.

thanks for the reply.  we are going to head up next Saturday so i will be sure to let the guys know.  thought it would be better to camp there then going to ONF since you cannot double up on the quads there. i am also going to double check and make sure it is ok to camp closer to the water since like all kids, my kids like to throw rocks in the water.   

double checking, but is it ok to camp up here?  (would like to know from the guys who lease the land or someone who is very familiar)  just want to make sure that we would not be squatting.  was thinking of heading up that way with a couple friends and the kids.

what is the riding like in Hastings and Hillard?  is it public or private?  could you provide directions?  i have been to Waycross and the riding up there is awesome and well worth the trip.

i have not been there before but we have a trip planned for the end of May.  i am driving up from Jacksonville and will be meeting some friends from Canada.  we did quite a bit of research prior to selecting these trails and it is really convenient since it is almost the same distance for all of us to travel.  our plan is to stay in the town of Gilbert.

is it still standard practice to call the number mentioned in this thread?  or is the guy usually there and just hand him some cash?

is anyone headed up there this weekend?  if so what day.  i will be bringing one of my kids with me, i added two up seating to my quad so they will be riding on back with me.

which day are you going up?  i was thinking of going Sunday...

agreed, actually found the listing on the craigslist.  i think i will head up there and try it out, only 68 miles from my house...

i just found this place online http://www.circletheswamp.com have any of you ever been here?

if it is still open i will go up with you next weekend.  i live off of Argyle Forest.

Paul is righ, there was plenty of mud and water to play in.  I did not get into much of it because it was just me and my 4 year old and i do not have a winch yet.  the trails were fun and seem to go on forever.  i put 25 miles on the bike in about 4 hours.  i live over by the Oakleaf Town Center and it was 96 miles, pretty much all of which was I-10. 

Thanks for the suggestion.  Went out there today and had a great time.  Even managed to get my Rincon stuck and then unstuck.  I now have 25 miles on the bike...

sweet!  does he actually ride a bike, or does he do it all on foot? 

will do.  i am planning on going out there this Sunday.

thanks for the quick reply!

I just bought a new ATV this week and am looking for a good place to ride.  I would like to do some trail riding and mud/water is always fun.  I would like to bring my 7 year old with me so I would be riding double (purchased the cargo box with the rear seat).  Open to any/all suggestions.  The place in Waycross looks really cool, is that place to open to ride on if you pay the fee?
Thanks in Advance.
