Hard Labor Creek Off Road Park
Saturday, December 23, 2023
| Other Names | Hard Labor Creek Off Road Park, Florida |
| Last Known Status | Closed |
This family friendly motocross park at one time offered 40 miles of one-way only trails that wind through a 600 acre mixed pine and oak forest but is closed and no longer open for riding. The trails were marked, fast and twisty but there was also a TT course, a pit area and some beginner friendly trails.
Recent additions included a one mile long and separate 1/4 mile long low impact motocross tracks. Two major races were hosted each year, an enduro in September (a dual sanction with SERA and FTR) and a SERA harescramble in October.
Helmet and boot rentals are available for a small fee. Camping was permitted and both primitive, electric and water hookups were available.
This listing will remain up for historical purposes and to help prevent a wasted trip.
