Ridden Trail: Once a week
|  |
Reviewed by: RaveOn
, from WPB Summary: This is the track I popped my MTB cherry. I bought my first MTB because of this place. I rode there at least 4 out of 7 days. I remember seeing 150 people on Sunday mornings. One could spend 30 minuted in the parking lot talking shop. I rode there so many times and keept time and distance logs on every ride. If some of you remember I had etched my best lap time on the right tree as soon as you roll over the very first sand ramp (near parking). While I (we) knew this place was going to be eliminated, it was a shock to drive by SR-7 and watch them level that fantastic place with the bull-dozers. After the elimination of K-mart and Okeeheele trail, I gave up ridding all together. I remember when they closed the "Mud-Flats" off of Okeechobee Blvd (it was off-road heven) and gave up ridding my 250R. Is nothing sacred...why do corporations always win...why did the chicken cross the road...Arggg... Recommended Route: Counterclockwise Other recommended trails in the same area: J.D Park, Pinehurst.

Ridden Trail: Once a week

Reviewed by: PK
, from RPB, FL Summary: It's been two years since the trail has been removed. Personally this was a great place for my family to ride. To this day we still talk about what has been lost, but with the loss of Kmart,and Chollee, other similar trails with similar issues have arrived. As it stands about 200 feet of the original trail still exists, the very back section along the canal that runs into the Blair Witch section and last time I was there the very first section of bridge by the orange grove was there. It lives like a memorial with no name and it's purpose known only by those that knew it's true meaning. As for it's loss, although I never road it, the trail prior to Kmart was even better, and like Kmart it's now gone but not totaly forgotten. The entire ten years I rode Kmart we all knew the day would come, so most enjoyed what they had while they were able to use it, and hoped that we would find a suitable replacement. There are some good local trails, but I still don't think that Kmart has been replaced. PK Recommended Route: Down the street, thru the park, across the canal Other recommended trails in the same area: Pinehurst, JD, Dyer, Quiet Waters, THE LEVI, Ft.P, ...

Ridden Trail: Every few months
|  |
Reviewed by: Allen
, from Davie, FL, USA Summary: I'd drive up every few months to see what was new... BEST MEMORY.... after a real hard ride in July, exploring a thin trail before the forest...and finding an orange grove. Picking a ripe one right off the tree, and it was perfect ! Had to ride out with sticky hands, but it was unforgettable. Recommended Route: Just word of mouth... Other recommended trails in the same area: none compare.

Reviewed by: rob
, from olathe, kansas (bwo wpb) Summary: You know how good a trail is, or was, when it has been gone for two years and people are still writing reviews on it. I learned how to ride here. I learned what it was like to fall face first off the top of wooden bridges. And it was all good. Recommended Route: through the shoe section of tj max then back down around where the dumpsters are and over the toilet of apartment 32a.

Ridden Trail: Once a month
|  |
Reviewed by: Bill J.
, from Chattvegas, TN Summary: It was the best ride in all of South Florida. Especially for a guy from the mountains. The one year that I lived in West Palm was made better by this trail. I remember riding from my bud John's house in RPB and just enjoying all of the trails. Like the ones around the water that if you were not careful you would take a swim. I will miss seeing the dudes with the crappy bmx bikes jumping the huge hole. The memory of my pop-in law busting on the sand and bending his front rim will last with me for a lifetime. I am sorry that I never got out on Sundays and rode with the crew. I hope that Butch is still at it. Anyway take a moment of silence the next time you are at K-mart with your favorite beverage next to the blue light special and know that progress in So. FLA SUCKS! Recommended Route: Take the road of memories in your head Other recommended trails in the same area: Dyer Park and Chloee Park
