Trail Overview

The Long Loop Road 4 starts and ends at the Williams Road in the northeast part of the Three Lakes WMA. I recommend starting the trail at the west end. The road conditions are a mixture of packed sand, loose sand, and some deep (2 to 3 feet), wide, and long mud holes that are almost always flooded. The road is not always wide enough for two vehicles to pass. 4WD and high clearance are highly recommended. All vehicles must be street legal. Three Lakes WMA comprises more than 63,000 acres of southern Osceola County, 25 miles southeast of St. Cloud. A daily-use or recreational permit is required to enter the Water Management Area.

The water crossings can be very challenging, especially after heavy rain. Don't enter this area alone or without recovery gear. Wearing Orange is required during hunting season.

Trail was in great condition, however, any of of rain would change that rapidly. There are a few turns that are tight, deep, and loose sugar sand. As long as you’re aired down you will be fine.
