The Ride
Trails

Camp Boggy Creek is adjacent to Seminole State Forest, and riders will enjoy the lovely forest trails. We'll also cross over into the Wekiva trails. The ride largely consists of gentle one- and two-track trails through the beautiful forest. Some short stretches of sand. You will go along gravel roads in a few areas, and there is generally a grassy space on the sides sufficient for barefooters. Trail conditions will be updated as the ride date nears.

Once again, Jackie and Stephen Baker and family and friends will do an awesome job marking the trails.
For many years, Stephen's sister Susan Baker Banden, has played a major role in marking the trails and helping with the ride. Susan passed away this summer, and this year, we will honor her dedication to supporting this Camp and the ride.
