Review: Aesome trail. well maintained and has a great core group of club members that should be very proud of what they have done. Great job Airborne.
Review: Outstanding trail, very well maintained by the dedicated members of the Airborne MTB club.
Review: Deep in the palm and citrus woods with plenty of shade. Well groomed trail. Flows very well and has decent elevation for a Florida trail. Wish it was longer. Plenty of nice technical areas with bypasses for the beginners. My favorite trail in the Treasure Coast and consider it a hidden gem. Tag along with a friendly Airborne Club member to check it out.
Review: Trail is in the best shape that ive seen in years!! Airborne mtb club has done a awesome job repairing trail after tropical storm last year. Great place to ride

Review: Trail is currently in awesome condition. Fast flowing hard packed surface makes for some of the better riding around at the present time.
All thanks to recent hard work of club members.
Be sure to join the club and sign the waiver so we can all continue the use of this trail.

Review: It seems like this trail is on it's way out. It is overgrown and has a hand full of fallen trees that block the trail. Has a ton of potential if it gets cleaned up.
Review: Fallen trees are part of the fun!
Review: You have to be a member of the local club (Airborne MTB) that maintains the trails for liability reasons. I believe that was part of the deal they negotiated in order for them to keep the trails.

Review: Does anyone know why they have the permit needed and trespassing sign at the beginning?
Review: Great "quick and dirty" trail. It's an hour drive from melbourne and worth it every time. Trail is maintained to a standard greater than most by the airborne club, they really do a great job. Technical sections, wooden bridges, tree roots, and solid elevation changes (for florida) make this trail one of my favorites. Easy to navigate although it may seem like you've ridden a section twice just stay on the trail and you'll eventually see the exit sign. Don't forget it is a 4 mile loop......of awesomeness. 5 stars.
Review: What to expect. A little bit of everything. Nice drips, tricky climbs a few rad hills, passing back and forth under the turnpike, nice. Theres a few options throughout so each lap can be different. Not a hard pedal. Great overall and a good collection of technical skills.
Review: What a diamond in the ruff. The people at Airborne do a great job of maintaing the trail. Marked fairly well. We came up from miami and it was worth it. Nobody was there and two laps of 4+ miles each made for a nice trip.
Hopefully more people will pay the membership fees so this trail can move to the top of other rider's lists.
Tons of fun! Thanks Nick for keeping it up!
Review: Rode it for second time ever Sat. 1/28/12. Great trail and easy to navigate. It is about 4 miles long. Must join/pay Airborne Mountain Bike Club ($25) and submit waiver to get gate combination. Or park away from trail head and ride around gate.
Review: Do you have to pay to ride???

Review: 4 laps today, I like the changes that have been made a couple places flow better and the trail is longer.

Review: So where do you go ti sign this waiver?
Review: Its not closed, you have to sign a wavier inorder to ride there. So don't write this trail off yet...
Review: Big bummer....this trail system now has a construction fence around it and no trespassing signs posted. Another one lost.....very sad. Go to http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/saveftpierce/ to sign a petition to help save this tral from developers.

Review: Love this trail. Lots of fun with the twisting tight single track. Roots require you to be on your toes and a few surprises here and there.
The Only issue we encountered was the trail was not marked all that well. We entered the trail and there was no direction sign on this oneway trail. Did one complete loop backwards and then a second in the correct direction, but there was an intersection that we encountered which required us to stop and figure out which way to go.......otherwise it was a lot of fun !
Review: rode almost the whole trail and it seemed to never end leaving us caught in the trail after dark with no flashlight (We weren't expecting to be out there that long!) and the trail is pretty confusing at some parts as there are no clear markings. ended up having to climb out from underneath the i-95 overpass to ride our bikes back to our car because we couldn't find the way out. a bit technical, nothing too crazy, my boyfriend really liked it but I personally did not.
Review: This is a fun trail and makes you want to go back in for seconds after the first run. Lots of shade and flow. Beware sugar sand babies! the section under the freeway overpass will get you if you are not up to speed when you hit it.
Review: I love, love, love this trail... It has easy smooth riding as well as some tricky obsticles. There is uphil and very downhill. Some sandy portions but not enough to ruin the trail. Bring Bug spray!!! The trail is pretty hidden, but this is my choice for riding so far... :o)
Review: You share the parking area with motorcross and ATV riders. The sugar sand is perpetual as evident by the excessive carpet laid down. Not very challenging, pretty flat. If you lived there you'd ride it, but you'd never travel to visit.

Review: Rode this trail for the second time just a couple of days ago and had a great time. It's not the most challenging trail (I did fall off the log once though haha) but it is a fun ride. Plenty of shade from the brutal Florida sun on this twisty trail. I'll definitely be going back.
Review: This trail is really fun. I like the big trees that are enclosing it the majority of the ride keeping the Florida sun at bay. Good job by the trail builders to take the available land and carve out a very cool course with a little bit of everything in a relativley flat area. There are a few technical sections that will challenge your skill sets. I would like to see a race take place here someday. Finding the entrance is a little tricky but keep in mind you need to hug the dirt road on the east side of the northbound lane of the Turnpike once you get off at Okeechobee

Review: I see that this trail is open once more but still not sanctioned like our goal was to be for this trail. Anyways, the trail has not changed any from what it used to be besides the trail head is slightly different entering in the main trail (heading to the Big Dipper). All of the stunts have been removed, but it still has its technical stuff throughout the loop. A bit grown in at the trail head though, and the trailhead is also the exit as well (two way traffic before the the drop to the Big Dipper). All in all it is still lots of fun out there and muggy as well. Hurry FL winter!!!
Review: Great trail. smooth flowing and some super fun dips thanks to the guys who help maintain this place. (although palm bay has better dips) If you follow the path its a good 45 minute ride. the review below must have made a wrong turn. However with all the rain it is a little overgrown. This is Lee Baggets Favorite on Florida's east coast by far, But I'v seen him eat it on a few of the dips. Ha Ha* Review edited 9/6/2009

Review: You know ,, I found the airborne website and petitioned to not have the trail closed. that was before i went out there. Closed or not I have been bleeding myself on the roads so I went for the trail in hopes of getting dirty. There is one section they have posted off in red makers that was decent enough,, but the rest of the trail is just grassy boulevards that lead no where.
I just moved from Missouri to Florida. The riding here is naturally,, lacking in my taste,, but I am making the best of it.
over all if they get this trail back open,, its worth if if your into a ride through grassy fields,, it was a decent enough workout ill give them that...
Oh,, and i spent nearly an hour trying to find the entrance..

Review: The airbornemtb club is working real hard with the land owners, elected officials, the county, and other agencies to get this trail re-opened as a sanctioned MTB trail. Just a few more red tape barriers to get through with the government and it will be back. Of course the trail will have to be cleaned and re-established from overgrowth from sitting with out any use. Not a problem their, trail crews ready to do the job when the trail is re-opened.
Review: This Trail is great. Perfect trail if you live in stuart, ft.pierce or port st lucie. Good mix of cross country and tech stuff. Unfortunately closed...
Review: Awesome trail, but now CLOSED! It will be sorely missed.
