Baker County to develop riding area

GrizzlyBear · May 11, 2007, 01:39:55 PM

On Wed, I toured a 1650 acres with the OHV Committee on cty rd 125 by cedar creek, north of Glen St Mary that Baker County owns and is the process of developing into a ATV riding area. It will probably be a couple of years, but the County Commissioners are 100% behind the project.

It's great if you live in North Florida. Let's see, Baker County is only 340 miles from Ft. Lauderdale. Still nothing happening down south.

why 2 years??

2 years to give the voters time to find out & repeal it or for some land study & enviromental architect to come up with a design for it

I wonder if this is part of the area that is burning in baker county atm.

But it sounds good but needs to hurry up!

I won't get my hopes up for nothing until it happens.

I call it a good step in the right direction,,,,,WHEN not if it works well,,,,,it only can serve as an example, especially if it turns into a tax base for the county,,,,,,them county commissioners love the tax money.

Let's play the waiting game.

This is great news. Do you think it will develop into something like Croom?

They are looking at a trail system with destinations, like a picnic area by the St Mary's river. It will take 2 years to get the trails designed, get grants for amentities and built everything.

There will be NO MORE places to ride like Croom, unless we act now with the state and feds, or open one ourselves.

Did you read and respond to this thread: http://www.atvflorida.com/forum/index.php/topic,24397.msg301152.html#msg301152

Soon Florida will be home to the most extensive network of trails, that are going to be completely incompatible with the average atv user.

Want to look at a particular leaf, then go for a pleasant 15 miles per hour ride to look at another kind leaf, our trail systems are going to be the finest.

Want to ride faster or through some challenging terrain, drive to another state or help us plead our case.
