Southern ATV Clubs: Florida Edition

The Sunshine State offers the most diversified clubs in the South, from sand carving duners to deep mud boggers. Come with me to Florida where the weather is always perfect, the trails are always a blast, and the folks are loaded with some great southern hospitality! Here are few that I found on the web:

ATVMiaXtreme (www.atvmiaxtreme.com) is a group of ATV enthusiasts from the southern portion of Florida. It is striving to become the largest ATV club in south Florida with safety promotion in mind. With over 900 folks on its forum members’ list, they are not playin’ around! Check ATVMiaXtreme out on the web for more information.

Edgewater Quads (www.edgewaterquads.com) is based in the Edgewater/New Smyrna Beach area. It is a group of friends that rides all types of ATVs. Edgewater Quads rides almost every week at Scottsmoor-Oak Hill and makes road trips to Ocala. The members also do a lil’ racing from time to time. Everyone is welcome no matter the type of ATV. For more information on Edgewater Quads, contact Casey casey@edgewaterquads.com.

Muddy Waters ATV Association (www.muddywatersatv.org) is headquartered in Osteen, Florida. It is a family-oriented club that promotes safety and preserves the recreation of ATVing. Muddy Waters ATV enjoys . . . well, MUD. With over 240 strong, they know how to have fun. Check out their events page. It is loaded with rides and events. Contact them at muddywatersatv@yahoo.com.

Southern Knights ATV Club (www.southernknightsatv.com) is a group of ATV lovers founded in the Grant area. They welcome all to join in on the fun. I looked on their web calendar, and they stay busy with club and community events. Don’t just take my word for it. Check them out yourself or contact them: Chrishayness@bellsouth.net.

The Dirty Girls (www.thedirtygirls.net) Okay ladies, this club is for you. Although they do accept guys, this group has quite a few women that like to get down and dirty. Based in Geneva, Florida, The Dirty Girls enjoy camping and riding. They ride locally and also do local events and might race here and there, too. Don’t be afraid to ask for more information by emailing The Dirty atvgirl@thedirtygirls.net.

ATVFlorida.com (www.atvflorida.com) is an Internet group that is dedicated to bringing folks in Florida together for a common cause--quads. There is a lot of information about great places to ride in the state. You can also share useful information in the forums section with other ATVers.

As you can see, Florida has some of the best ATV clubs in the South. If you are ever in the Sunshine State, bring your quad and hit the trails with these fine folks. If your group is not listed in this article, contact atvsource.com, and ask them to add your club or association to their clubs list. Be sure to set up a website for your organization. It’s the cheapest and most efficient way to share information about your group with thousands of others with the same thing in mind. ATV clubs are growing stronger each day, and through groups like these, the voice of ATV enthusiasts is louder and stronger. If you are not a member of a group or club, you can find a club in your state by visiting www.atvsource.com/clubs/index.htm or the National Off Highway Vehicle Conservation Council’s website at www.nohvcc.org. Remember to tread lightly and preserve the trails for the next generation to enjoy!
