Next Maintenance Day

Trail Maintenance

Mark your calendars! This will be a big one! We will discuss what we will be working on at the June 12th meeting. Also, June 15th will be set aside for those who can't make June 14th and want to help. Someone from the previous day will be there to supervise.

Look for a work day or two before this big maintenance day to begin putting up the new trail signs. Check back for updates...more trail improvements are on the way!

Anyone coming out to help on the trails who hasn't already filled out a vounteer form please stop at the ranger station on the way in and ask them for one, The park has a brief form for volunteers to fill out....

They also have a log book for signing in and out. they like to keep track of how many volunteer hours are being put in.

Trail Work

We will be conducting trail work throughout the spring months. In an effort to fight the sandy spots we are looking in to another new method besides Soiltac. In short, it is a rubber mat type material laid in the sandy areas. Native grass seed is then sprinkled in and in due time forms a more solid surface to ride on.

When we begin work with this material, PLEASE stay off any trails that are temporarily marked off with tape or simply go around. We don't want the work to go to waste.

Check back for more info or for answers to your trail work questions you can ask Ranger Mark on the forum.

Skills Park is here!

Check out Club Scrub's ‘skills park' located just east of the trail head gazebo. This area consists of various obstacles configured to mimic situations a rider would encounter while using the camp Murphy trail system. Obstacles include numerous log piles, a balance beam, a root garden, a pit with ramps and small ‘wheelie drop'.

All of these structures are set up so that beginner riders can give them a try in an open grassy area free from saw palmettos or other typical trail features that could cause injury (sharp pokey things, pigs, alligators, man eating gopher tortoises?). As always, PLEASE wear an approved helmet.

Do you have the skills?
