Ocala - Forest Road 18

A tranquil and easy trail is located in southeast Ocala National Forest. The drive will take you through the forest on a smooth dirt road with a small water landing at the end. This is a great road if you are new to 4WD vehicles as there are sandy areas off the shoulder of the road beginners can practice in. Ocala National Forest is one of three National Forests in Florida. It spans 385,000 acres and is the second-largest National Forest in Florida. Exploring this area can be done in many ways, such as hiking, boating, horseback, OHV, ATV, and street-legal vehicles. Come hunt, camp, watch wildlife, visit a shooting range, or even see the Naval Bombing Range!
