Summary:
This place has really had a face lift in the past months, great job by SWAMP to add all the new trails. The MAPS are now available on the swampclub.org website, you only have to join the forum, which is free. Their maps were only available to club members forever but they have now made them freely available.

I can't say enough good things about the guys in SWAMP!!!! Kudos guys and thanks for such an awesome trail as Ridgeline. My first time at BB was this past weekend and enjoyed the trails. THEN I got to Ridgeline and wow that was a blast. Oh btw on my way out a panther ran across the jeep road about 50 yards in front of me! Nice way to end the day!!!

Summary:
The old reviews of Balm Boyette dont do this trail network justice. I rode this park about two years ago and was unimpressed since Alafia was a short distance away and had more to offer someone with some experience. Alafia had been getting really crowded so I gave Boyette another chance a few months ago and I have been wonderfully surprised at the new trails at the back of the park.

The newest trail, Ridgeline, is a work of art. It has the most elevation gain/loss I have yet to see in Florida all packed into a two mile stretch. This definitely rivals my other favorite trail in Florida (Santos). Pandemonium, Sidwinder, and North/South Abyss all flow so well and stay pretty hardpacked and sand free.

I cant imagine the amount of work it must have taken to build the new network of trails. SWAMP definitely deserves huge kudos for a job well done. If you havent been out here in a while you owe it to yourself to come back.

Recommended Route:
Ride each trail of the park clockwise:

Loch Ness
Upper Nessie
Golf Cart
North Abyss
1/2 of South Abyss to bailout
Pandemonium
Side Winder
Ridgeline
Double Track Meadow back to South Abyss
Finish South Abyss
Spider Berm
Randy's Trail
Inner Nessie

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Alafia
Santos (1.5 hours away)

Summary:
Excellent mix of trails. You can take it easy on the trails that switchback through palmettos or you can blast through some fun drops. Overall, Boyette is a great place to ride. Sometimes the hardest part is the 2 mile road after a long day of pounding.

Recommended Route:
Spider Berm, Abyss, Pandemonium, Sidewinder

Other recommended trails in the same area:
Alafia, Morris Bridge, Croom
