Trail Overview
Ocala National Forest Road 40-6.1 connects SR 40 at the north end and CR 314A at the south end in the south west of the Ocala National Forest. The trail takes you along the power lines and gives you access to a few dirt roads in the area. 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 is 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.
