Mountain Bike
Terrain: Flat pine woods and oak hammocks. No real bicycle trails but the doubletrack roads are firm and rideable. No hunting allowed.The Hal Scott Preserve consists of 4600 acres bisected by the Econlockhatchee River. There are approximately 15 miles of good fireroads to explore. Cross the Econlockhatchee on the bridge at Curry's Ford, by wading across wherever it is shallow, or by attempting to make your bike swim! If you're into bird watching I hear it's good (with kites, ospreys, bald eagles and more "swimming in the sky"). Courtesy of Singletracks.com
More Information
Never modify trail features. Ride trails when they're dry enough that you won't leave ruts. Speak up when you see others on the trail and always yield to hikers, horses, and others coming uphill. Always ride on the established trail.
