Trail Overview
Huckle Buck, also known as Osceola National Forest Road 223, connects The Water Park at the south end and Cobb‘s Place at the north end. It takes you through the north part of the Osceola National Forest and gives you access to a few trails next to the Impassable Bay and Buck Island Lake. 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 not 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. Flatwoods and swamps transport visitors back in time and provide a tranquil setting for first-rate hunting, fishing, and swimming opportunities.
Difficulty
This is an easy, narrow, non-technical trail unless after heavy rains or during flood season in the summer.
History
Osceola National Forest is named in honor of the noted Seminole warrior, Osceola. The forest also has a history of Native American presence, as they inhabited and traveled through this area.
