South Florida: Big Cypress National Preserve ?

[FloridaLarry]

Anyone have experience and pics of these trails? I am looking for destinations within 100 miles of my home and this preserve qualifies. Only rated 2 out 5, I'll take what I can get, as the song goes. Thanks!

I've done a fair bit of off-roading around there. Rainy season until about November, there is a LOT of water, they keep trails closed when they are wet. The sugar sand will terrorize any seal that is underwater- axles, rear mains in the engine, etc. It's lots of fun, some feature a lot of underbrush overgrowth if that makes sense. I also believe you'll have to get an ORV permit from the Park Rangers office.
