SW Florida (Caloosahatchee Regional Park)

[Crabryder]

New Park, New Ride, and flats.

Nice Park, they say up to 20 miles, wasn't making that on 1st fatty ride
and no clipless, fun place and well maintained by mudcutter's, seen the tail end of Jake out there and will need to identity type of snake it was, bobcat a.few years ago when riding here.Certianlly worth the 50 minute ride from Ft. Myers Beach area for real Mtb.riding.

Can confirm, this place is an absolute gem in the middle of FL horse country. Small, but extremely well sculpted, not a boring trail in the entire park. Even an interesting little skills loop/side hit off the ridge trail that goes back to the lot.

The park is *directional* and apparently it changes every so often. The direction is marked on the main trail head so you're not confused. The parks is also essentially 1 continuous loop so there is no mistaking where to go. There are intersections where you can skip a leg or redo a leg, but direction is always clearly marked. This is great because you can hammer it and never get a head on with another biker.

1 full loop including the optional black diamond section in the back is only about 12 mi, not sure where they get 20 (though as mentioned you can re-ride some legs to increase mileage). There are other trails in the park but some do not permit bikes (equestrian/hike only) whereas this section is bike ONLY.

No gators found but deer were common and i hear wild boar are an issue there also.
