These trails are situated on 5,700 +/- acres of former phosphate mined lands and upland scrub preserve. There are over 20 miles of premium singletrack - consisting of easy greens, intermediate blues, and challenging blacks. There are 15 +/- miles of multipurpose double track. Trails cater to all skill levels, from easy green loops to challenging black diamond runs. The formerly mined areas provide plenty of challenges, including many steep drops and short "punchy" climbs. The first 16 miles of trail were rough cut in 1996 and opened in 1997. The 1.7 mile Ridgeline trail (black), considered one of the best single track trails in Florida, was opened in 2009. The Balm Boyette Scrub Preserve is home to plenty of wildlife, including deer, alligators, hogs, snakes, birds, etc.
