Any ATV trails

[Capehorn17]

I haven't been able to find any atv trails in Santa Rosa Beach. Does anyone know of any?

There are no legal ones, except for the kid's trail next door to his house on W Pt Washington Rd.

I've seen one on Hwy 20, well east of Freeport, closer to PC. I also read that one of the dirt pits in NoWal, not sure where, was going to stop being used for a pit, and would become a motorcross place.

Though it is not a trail, I believe laws in FL, changed a few months ago, allowing some ATVs to legally be ridden on dirt roads, but I recall some opposition to the change in the law, and there were restrictions on the riders, regarding age, speed, etc.

There was an ad in the paper the other day for private dirt bike/ATV club memberships at a site somewhere up by DFS/Mossy Head, but I don't recall details.

That is the one which is no longer being used as a dirt pit. I believe there was a contact number in that article, but I don't have the paper at hand.

Thank you very much. I called the sheriffs and they said that you can only ride an atv if it's on your land or another person's land that lets you on it. It's pretty cut and dry. But the powerlines don't have signs saying that you can't, so that could be another place.

Actually, the land under the power lines, is privately owned or gov't owned, and to ride on them, you would need permission from the owners (technically speaking). The S.O. can write you a ticket.

Unfortunate Capehorn about the trails down here. Exactly why I sold off both my machines. There was no reason to bring them here.
The kayak is a lot less maintenance anyway and better exercise.

And doesn't tear up the land!

Ahhh....you must have gone to the riding club website to see the pictures promoting responsible riding.
I can't deny that I used to do this back in MN. Loved those springtime rides down the old ditchgrades.
We always went deep into the forests. I have trouble with those who have to tear up the trails right alongside a road or highway for the whole world to have to look at.
