Trail Overview
This narrow two-track trail cuts through the heart of Ocala National Forest, allowing you to traverse deep into the wilderness. Once you're off the main road, you will be met with tight, mildly technical sections of sandy trails that put you under the canopy of towering pines and small palms. There's also a possibility of some small water spots after heavy rain. This is a tighter and less-maintained trail, so pinstriping on midsize vehicles (Jeeps) is possible. Full-size vehicles (pickup trucks) are not recommended. Cell service is spotty in most of Ocala National Forest.
