Geography:
CMA is continually changing due to weather and natural terrain ranging from hardwood hammocks and tight scrubs to numerous pits left from historic mining operations. Unforeseen hazards exist. Conditions are subject to constant change. Operating OHM/ATVs in such terrain is inherently dangerous. Ride safely and follow all rules to reduce the risk to yourself and others.
Only by becoming a responsible rider can you ensure your continued use of this forest treasure.
