Road 3

Trail Overview

Road 3, starting at Tuckers Grade, is a single vehicle-wide compacted rock and dirt trail. The trail is rutted and has numerous potholes. As the trail crosses Seaboard Grade, it transitions to a deeply rutted mud trail. This is not a trail for 2WD or low clearance vehicles. In order to pass other vehicles requires pulling into deeply rutted shoulders or areas of sticky mud. Wrong tire placement may result in sliding into wetlands or getting hung up in thick mud. There is a day-use permit fee of $3 per person or $6 per vehicle for daily use. Some exceptions may apply to those who hold a current WMA Permit from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission; check with FWC and download the specific WMA regulations posted on their website. All visitors 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. During hunting seasons, visitors may also need to check in with the staff at the hunter check station and show the day-use permit prior to being granted further access to the WMA. ** 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.** The northern segment of this trail should not be driven by low clearance or 2WD vehicles. 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. There are several picturesque ponds just off the trail that provide great fishing and wildlife viewing opportunities. There are many lakes, ponds, and canals that provide great freshwater fishing opportunities.
