Road 16 - Three Lakes WMA

Road 16 is the northern part of the Prairie Lakes Road and connects Road 10 at the south end and State Route 523 at the north end of the trail. It is located in the southwest part of the Three Lakes WMA and gives you access to several trails in the area, a primitive boat ramp at the Jackson Canal, and a hiking trail to the Lake Marian Observation Platform. The road conditions are a mixture of packed sand, loose sand, and some deep holes that can turn into 2-foot 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. Three Lakes WMA comprises more than 63,000 acres of southern Osceola County, 25 miles southeast of St. Cloud. A daily-use or recreational permit is required to enter the Water Management Area.
