I have a townhouse on Crystal Lake that is for rent. 3bed/2.5ba with dock on a freshwater private lake not even 5 minutes from Rixen. Email me at ty.udell@gmail.com if you are interested and I can talk to you more about it.
Crystal lake is a good spot to ride and I don't think there is public access. It's been a while but I used to run the course there when Jim ran the school and we were always the only boat on the lake. At one point they were going to add lights.
I think Dean Lavell is now running a school on the lake. Check out his website. It's also a stones throw from Ski Rixen.
I didn't know the name of the lake, but I've ridden with Dean and it is a nice lake. Kinda small, but not much traffic. Some nice canals near there too!
my sister is going to be down here over xmas break for a soccer torny and my rents want me to come hah but i said only if i can wakeboard...whats the scene like in dec?
Full of snakes. Everybody who goes there gets bit. Three alligator attacks in August alone. Now the exotic pythons have been snacking on full size dogs from the shoreline. Too close to the everglades I guess.
Ted, just email me. I don't know how to check PM's on this message board. Possibly because I have a MAC or just don't see where the button is to check them. Thanks, ty.udell@gmail.com
