Green Bear Hole / Lam Horse Trail / ONF 17

The Green Bear Hole / Lam Horse Trail, also known as Ocala National Forest Road 17, connects Highway 40 at the north end and South Cross Powerline Run at the south end in the south part of the ONF. The trail gives you access to several side trails including the Volusia Trail. The road conditions are a mixture of packed sand, loose sand, and some deep holes that can turn into 2 feet deep mud holes after rainy days. The road is not always wide enough for two vehicles to pass so please drive carefully. Some sections require 4WD and high clearance is 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. There are hundreds of lakes and ponds including Lake Kerr and the enormous Lake George.
