		Visit the new trail conditions section of our Forums here.
Alafia	3rd Sunday	Advanced Trail system. Beginner to Advanced riders. The North Creek trail, the lastest addition, is open, and in great shape. Gatorback, an advanced trail, may be closed. Check with the park rangers on the day of your ride. Rabbit Ears is open. Rock Garden is fine. Sand Pine is good. Moonscape and Rollercoaster are good. Bridges is in fair shape. SWAMP maintains these trails on the first Saturday of every month. 9:00 am Park Hours: 8:00 am to Sunset
Boyette	2nd Sunday	All of Boyette Scrub trails are open and in good riding condition. Gator Pit, Golf Cart and Spider Berm are fast. North and South Abyss and are in good shape. East Meadow is good. All the Nessie (Loch Ness, Inner Ness and Upper Ness) trails are good. The second Saturday of the month is scheduled trail maintenance; RSVP and join in to help us open up new trails: Pandemonium and Sidewinder
Loyce E. Harpe Park (Carter)	Varies	There have been a few improvements and changes to the park. There are no signs out there that indicate that the park was once known as Carter Road Park, however, there is new signage directing you to the trailhead. The climb up Sprinkler Hill is sandy in the usual spots. The trail through the Woodline is in really good shape with a few bad spots which are mostly in the wider turns. There is a new strip of trail which goes between to trees in the shape of a "V" next to the trail where there is that knarly root crossing. Going through the field is sandy in most spots till you get back into the woods line. Horseshoe is good. They have cut out that big root adjacent to the board bridge before you make the turn. No other problems noted here. Puff N Stuff, Cruddy Buddy, Baby Beast, Snake Ridge, Sneaky Snake and Rope Swing are in good shape. The worst part of these sections was a section of Baby Beast which is getting really rooty. The ruts in the South Clay Road are huge. Dumping is still going on.
Croom	4th Sunday	Croom is the longest trail system SWAMP maintains, with over 60 miles of single track trail this is a fun place to ride. SWAMP maintains these trails on the fourth Saturday of many months.
Santos	Varies	The trails were really nice at Santos on Sunday. The usual sandy areas nice and packed. Weather was about as perfect as it can get. It was a fantastic ride!!!!! Link to OMBA's Trail Conditions Site
Wilderness Park	1st Sunday	The Wilderness Trails Association (WTA) and SWAMP maintains these trails on the thrid Saturday of every month. SWAMP Club sponsers a training class at this site as well. Park Hours: 7:00 am to 8:30 pm (Flatwoods, Trout Creek and Morris Bridge)
San Felasco	Sometimes	Information about this trail system can be found at the San Felasco Hammock site.
