Trail Overview
A daily-use or recreational permit is required to enter the Water Management Area. Road 5 connects Road 19 on the south end and SR-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 the North Hunter Campground. 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. There are a few water crossings that can be technically challenging after heavy rain. The road is not 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.
