I had a blast! I have never had so much fun on a bike in all my life, and I am going on 52 years old. The bike was just purchased Saturday and got broke in good on the muddy/watered trails.

Been riding these trails 4 6 yrs. best in south FLA. the exit off of I-75 is not called Arvida anymore. Its Royal Palm. When u exit from Royal Palm u go 2 the first main intersection which is Weston Rd. Mk a right turn and go all the way to the end. Park is at the end of Weston Rd. Good luck and Ride on Bro!

fun ,fun, fun park. Few drops, some ramps... super technical, well maintained... bring some h2o and dont ever forget a spare tube, it is very rocky and you dont want to be walking out of the trails.

Who needs stinking mountains in Florida when you have Markham park. fast,steep climbs and drops, new trails have been added some of the trails are NOT for begginers, tough and fun, so bring an extra set of legs ... in some cases you will donate blood in the trails. LIVE TO BIKE , BIKE TO LIVE.

I tried to follow your directions and I could not find the trail. I went up Arvida and down Arvida... no trail in site...

Keeping cool at Markham.. Yes it can be very hot, one trick is to make sure you slow down when riding around the big lake.. The wind (if any) comes off the water and is about 5 degress cooler. This is your best recovery spot
