Trail Overview
The North Tower Trail, also known as Ocala National Forest Road 70, connects Halfmoon North Trail at the east end and NE 160th Ave Rd at the west end in the North Part of the ONF. The trail crosses the Sandy Pipeline Run and Longleaf Trail (OHV). The road conditions are a mixture of packed sand, loose sand, and 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. 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.
