Summary:
Many miles (55!) of twisty singletrack goodness. There are many miles of narrow dense forest, and some open yet very flowy. There is some slightly technical, and overall good variety. Signage and trails are excellent, thanks to the SWAMP mtb club who maintain!
This NYer continually has a blast there!
As a plus, you can also send the family out on a nearby paved rail trail.

Recommended Route:
Follow the well marked signs.

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Boyette, Alafia, Croom, Carter Road.

Summary:
This is a fun area thats great to log lots of miles and generally get away from it all. Unlike most parks around here, Croom actually lets you feel like your in the middle of no where, and not just some park with houses surrounding it. In a short summary, think Santos meets flatwoods. Its not particularly technical and there is a fair bit of elevation change,theres a little bit of tight winding trail thats reminiscent of flatwoods but not enough to where you can just haul A$$

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Everything.

Summary:
Covered trails great for beatign the summer heat.

The big problem with this trail is that it is one public land that is also used as a hunting area. So there are months where you cant ride at all, then there are those where you can ride if you don't mind rednecks with guns running around popping off shots at squirrels.

That said, the trail flows smoothly. I prefer the trails to flatwoods. But the recent moto activity had kind of messed up the trails a bit. Not a fantastic place, but a solid alternative to Flatwoods for pure XC riding.

Recommended Route:
Theyre all the same

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Razorback, Santos, and Alafai are all technical rides within an hour drive. Flatwoods and Boyette are XC rides within an hour drive, as well.
