Fun ride if you are interested

CRANKSGIVING IS COMING!
What happens when you mix bikes, teammates, Thanksgiving, and giving back? FL NICA Cranksgiving!
On November 14th we will be riding with a mission: collect food, build community, and give back to those who need it most.

We will meet at the Hammock Community Center riding Mala Compra MTB Trails to the Hammock Community Church food pantry.

It’s more than a ride. It’s a chance to show what happens when the NICA community comes together.
Ride. Give. Connect.

Some cool history

Then & Now at Mala Compra Trails 🐺🌿

Did you know this peaceful nature trail was once home to a roadside wildlife attraction?

In the early 1960s, Animal Land welcomed visitors to a 105-acre park where they rode a motorized safari to see timber wolves, jungle cats, bears, and other animals.

Admission was just $2 for adults, $1 for children, and free for kids under six.

Today, as you bike the Mala Compra Trails, you can still spot remnants of the park's past.

What was once a wildlife attraction has become a protected natural area where visitors can experience Florida's coastal hammock ecosystem; Enjoying the outdoors by foot or bike.

History and nature come together at Mala Compra Trails. What’s your favorite thing about Mala Compra’s Past, Present, or Future?
