Trail Overview

The East Wandering Wiregrass Trail is the extension of Ocala National Forest Road 10 and connects Telephone Trail South at the west end and Spring Creek at the east end in the southeast part of the Ocala National Forest. The trail is only open in the Winter after November 1st. The road conditions are a mixture of packed sand, loose sand, plenty of deep holes that can turn into 4 feet deep mud holes after rainy days, and areas that are constantly flooded, even in the winter. The road is always 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.

Fun trail but the mud hole at photo 4 has a large wood post or log stuck verticaly in the north side rut. Hit my control arm and brought us to a stop, was able to get pulled out. Be careful.

The very edge of the trail by Palmetto/6 is dug out from big mud tires to the extent that 32" tires on a 4Runner we're insufficient. I got bogged today in around 3 ft of water and needed to get pulled out from behind. Do not attempt this alone. The mud had suctioned my tires to the extent that being pulled backward was not enough and the tow truck need to lift the rear out first.
