Trail Overview
The Ocala National Forest Road 65 connects Highway 445A at the north end and Highway 19/Telephone Trail at the south end of the trail in the eastern part of the Ocala National Forest. The trail takes you along the Billies Bay Wilderness, a swamp area. The road conditions are a mixture of packed sand, loose sand, and some deep holes that can turn into 3-foot deep mud holes after rainy days. Some obstacles require High Clearance and 4WD during the rainy season. The road is narrow and not wide enough for two vehicles to pass. 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.
