Oilwell Grade

Trail Overview

This trail is located within the Babcock-Webb Wildlife Management Area. The Florida Fish & Wildlife Commission requires a $3 per person or $6 per vehicle for daily use fee. Some exceptions may apply to those who hold a current WMA Permit from FWC, check with FWC and download the specific WMA regulations posted on their website. Once onsite you are required to check-in at the "Check Station", which is an iron post next to an information board located on the south side of Tuckers Grade. The trail is two-vehicle passable the full length. The trail is a maintained, evenly graded rock trail. There may be loose rocks from raveling and erosion in some areas. There are no areas of washes as the trail was constructed as an elevated trail through wetland areas. This trail runs North and South within this 70,000 plus acre Wildlife Management Area. This is a nice leisurely trail for those wanting the opportunity to view Florida wildlife (e.g. Alligators, Whitetail Deer, Wild Hogs, Coyote, Bobcats, Bald Eagles, etc.) or cattle along this trail. The trail can be driven by most 2WD vehicles and ORV/OHV year around. Several covered picnic areas are located near picturesque ponds and lakes, which provide great fishing and wildlife viewing opportunities. The Florida Fish & Wildlife Commission limits access to only named and numbered trails due to severe impacts of Off-Road Vehicle/Off-Highway Vehicles (ORV/OHV) and related environmental damages. Remember to tread lightly and to remain on only named or numbered roads/trails.
