Bone Valley ATV Park
Bone Valley ATV Park is a 200-acre Polk County OHV park on reclaimed phosphate mine land near Mulberry, Florida, managed by Polk County government, a rarity in Florida's OHV landscape where most riding options are private commercial operations or large national forest systems without the structured amenities of a county park. The phosphate mine reclamation character of the property defines the terrain: the angular berm-and-pit topography of former strip mining has been reshaped into approximately 15 miles of designated one-way trail at skill-rated difficulty levels, preserving the terrain variety that mining operations created while routing riders in a managed direction that prevents head-on conflicts. The vehicle class policy is specific: motorcycles, ATVs, and UTVs are permitted on the trail system; full-size trucks, dune buggies, and three-wheelers are not. ATV and UTV rentals are available on site through Revolution Rentals, an unusual convenience for a county-operated park. Day-use fees are $15/rider; annual passes are $250 for adults and $100 for children. The Mulberry location places Bone Valley approximately 30 miles east of Tampa, making it accessible for the Tampa Bay metro area as a day-trip riding destination. The county management model provides consistent maintenance standards and operating hours: Friday through Monday 8am–7pm in summer, 8am–5pm in winter. Closed Tuesday through Thursday (863-270-1338).
