On behalf of the Myakkahatchee Area Mountain Bike Association (MAMBA) please help us in asking the city of North Port to officially designate the existing unimproved trails in the planning of the Myakkahatchee Creek Greenway Park. These trails allow cross country mountain bikers and hikers to experience some of the area’s pristine natural settings. These activities are passive and low impact to the environment. These trails have been in existence for more than 15 years and have been voluntarily maintained by local mountain bikers at no cost to the city or tax payers. Officially designating these trails would allow North Port residents and visitors alike a way to preserve and enjoy this beautiful piece of “Natural Florida”.

I spent the morning walking these paths and thinking about how much they mean to everyone who seeks a quiet escape in our woods. Your comments show me that I am far from the only person who feels this way about our trail system. We are talking with local officials now to ensure they understand that these trails are a vital piece of our community.

Seeing this kind of momentum reminds me of all the mornings my friends and I spent clearing debris from these paths long before anyone else paid attention. It feels incredible to know so many of you value this land as much as we do.

I been riding these trails since 2008. They are the only bit of woods left in North Port. Keep them open!

The city needs to leave these trails alone. The biking community puts way more work into maintaining them than the city ever would.
