First time at Croom?

Croom Motorcycle Area at Withlacoochee State Forest-with more than 2600 acres of trails. The Croom-Sand Hill Day Use Area is one of the best riding areas in the State of Florida with a 300 acre open riding area with soft "sugar" sand, limited trees, lots of berms, whoops, miles of trails, and so much more. Also located within Sand Hill, are picnic tables, restrooms, and free parking.

Checking In

Once you arrive at the Croom Motorcycle Area-Sand Hill Day Use Area, which will be the very FIRST LEFT, once you drive past the guard shack (you do NOT have to pay any fees at the Gate House). There will be a sign that says SAND HILL-DAY USE AREA. As you enter, look for the MOORE ATV RENTALS trailer. You will meet with Rick. He will go through the paperwork and make sure everyone has checked in.

Getting your Rentals

After the paperwork is complete, you will be fitted for a helmet and then go over the ATV safety and instructions. All riders are required to show they understand the instructions and can control the ATV. After you show us you know your rental, you are ready for your adventure.
