Trail Overview
The Ocklawaha Trail, also known as Ocala National Forest Road SE24ST, connects SE 1st Road at the west end and Highway 314A at the east end in the southwest of the Ocala National Forest. The trail gives you access to some dirt roads that will take you to the Ocklawaha River. The road conditions are a mixture of packed sand, loose sand, and some deep holes that can turn into 2 feet deep mud holes after rainy days. The road is 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. There are hundreds of lakes and ponds in the region including Lake Kerr and the enormous Lake George.
