This unique offroad park has four motocross tracks that consist of a main, vet, sand and peewee. Other attractions include an oval track, harescramble course, challenging rock garden and 80 acres of 4x4 woods trails with short chunky climbs.
The main track is about two miles long and has some huge elevation changes of about 100 feet. The layout has nice flow with some steep uphill and downhill sections, step-ups, whoops and deep berms. The track has both hard pack and loamy sections and is groomed every Friday night for the weekend.
The park has a campground with over 50 sites, each with electric and water hookups. Primitive camping is also permitted, and daily, weekly and monthly rates are available.
On site storage is available for a small fee for RVs and trailers. Other amenities include restroom and shower facilities plus a parts/accessory shop. The park also has a nice lake to enjoy after a days ride.
The property hosts various motocross races, vintage trials, flat track and 4x4 events throughout the year. During special events a concession stand is available.

This is one of the best places to go in Florida if you are looking for hills, water crossings, obstacle courses, mud bogs and rocky 4x4 trails. Photo Submitted 5/31/2012 (Thanks!)
The property has a scenic lake that was once the site of an old lime quarry.
