No such luck .........croom would be about the closest or
Ocala National forest to ride legally that is

I was told that they do not allow side by side atv's at croom, you have to be able to "stradle" what you ride out there. Does anyone know if this is true or not?

I think they have a width limit but I cant recall. maybe 48 inches. maybe ocala would be good but far.

I think you're right now that I think of it your Rhino would be too
big for croom in most areas I know it was tight on trails with our Polaris !! Think it wont let side by sides in

ive seen ds650s at croom and i think they are close to 50 wide

You need to hook up with a River Ranch deed.

That would be perfect for your Rhino. @ 40 square miles of mostly flat, muddy, trails and open terrain. It's 30 minutes east of Bartow down Hwy 60.

Or at least find someone who will take you in as guest.

I've also heard of a place in Fort Meade, although I haven't been that is all sand dunes.

I'm guessing it's old mining property.

If you get any information on the area around Ft Meade let us
know please, it would be a nice change to try it out if possible. Never had heard anything about it before.
