WCA-2A is just down the road from you. As Geneva said, take 441 south to Loxahatchee Road, then go west till the road ends. Keep goin' straight to the top of the levee, then make a left before you enter the "Day Use Only" area. We launch the airboats at the end of that dirt road.
WCA-2A offers pretty good ridin' 9 months out of the year. The water drops in March, and doesn't usually come up again until May, depending upon when the rainy season starts. You can still ride during those months, but you're pretty much restricted to the tour trail (Lyles trail) and the north canal.
Those other 9 months of the year there's hundreds of trails to follow.....you can pretty much go 15 miles due west on the east/west trail, and another 10 miles south till you hit the southern canal and Sawgrass Rec Area. There's at least 20 camps in the area to stop at and let the motor cool down.
A lot of people don't like ridin' in the area because some of the trails are windy and skinny, and there's a lot of places where two boats going opposite directions won't make it, so someone's going to eat the trees or the tall grass. I solve this problem by doin' most of my ridin' at night, hopin' that a boat will give itself away by the headlights/head gear. I've been ridin' this area now for nearly 7 years, and really haven't had any problems. For every skinny trail, there's three or four nice wide trails (hell, there's even some "4 lane" trails.......).
It's definitely worth checkin' out while you're local, especially if you have a boat that you're thinking about bringin' down. I'm sure ridin the 'Glades is a lot different from ridin' up north, but I think you'll like it.
And another 25 miles down the road, you've got WCA-3A North and South, which is a whole 'nother story.........
