East River Road - ONF 74

Trail Overview

The East River Road, also known as Ocala National Forest Road 74, connects US 19 at the north end and Northcross trail at the south end in the North Part of the ONF. The trail runs next to the Little Lake George Wilderness Area and is known for being flooded. The road conditions are a mixture of packed sand, loose sand, and some deep holes that can turn into 3-4 feet deep mud holes after rainy days. The road is very narrow and not wide enough for two vehicles to pass. 4WD and high clearance are highly recommended. All vehicles must be street-legal. Ocala National Forest is in Florida, north of Orlando. It's known for its large areas of sand pine scrub forest. The Juniper Springs, Alexander Springs, and Salt Springs recreation areas have natural pools and canoe runs. Hundreds of lakes and ponds include Lake Kerr and the enormous Lake George.
