FS 209

Osceola National Forest Road 209 is a dead-end road that starts at Hog Pen Road. It takes you through the southern part of the Osceola National Forest and gives you access to the Ocean Pond. The road conditions are a mixture of packed sand, loose sand, and some deep holes that can turn into 2-foot-deep mud holes after rainy days. The road is always wide enough for two vehicles to pass. 4WD and high clearance are recommended. All vehicles must be street legal. Please be aware that the cellphone reception is weak and the next gas station might be far. Osceola National Forest is a National Forest located in northeast Florida. It’s a peaceful place where people come to escape their busy lives and reconnect with the land. Flatwoods and swamps transport visitors back in time and provide a tranquil setting for first-rate hunting, fishing, and swimming opportunities.
