Trail Overview
The Rommel Trail, also known as Ocala National Forest Road 62, connects Highway 19 at the west end and the Fort Gates Ferry Road at the east end in the north part of the Ocala National Forest. The trail gives you access to the Fort Gates Ferry Trail and other trails 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 are 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.
