Trail Overview
The Keel Trail, also known as Ocala National Forest Road 61-1.7, connects Black Water Creek at the west end and Telephone Trail South at the east end in the southeast part of the Ocala National Forest. The trail gives you access to several other trails in the area. The road conditions are a mixture of packed sand, loose sand, and 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. 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.
