Overview

Forest Road 33 is located in central Ocala National Forest. The trail is almost straight as an arrow. The long straight alignment makes the trail appear to touch the sky in the distance. This long view is a feature of many Ocala National Forest trails. Explorers can expect an easy scenic drive on an orange dirt road that cuts through dense vegetation and areas cleared out from logging. Forest Road 33 is one of Ocala's longest trails and intersects with countless minor and major trails. Shanty Pond Campground is reached by FR33 and is open during Florida's cool and dry months. 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!
