Florida Trails

Tread Lightly! Four Wheel Drive Way is located in central Florida in Ocala Nationa Forest. Ocala National Forest spans over Lake, Marion, and Putnam Counties for about 385,000 acres. Four Wheel Drive Way travels 80 miles through the north, central, and south regions of Ocala National Forest. The trail is the longest in Florida and will leave lasting impressions as drivers weave through crowded trails, dig through deep Florida sugar sand, hill climb and hill descents, even a few off-camber areas and areas to flex your rig's suspension. Trees and other vegetation will dig into your vehicle's paint leaving permanent memories, whether good or bad is a discussion for another time. Tread Lightly! Four Wheel Drive Way is Florida's first and only trail listed on Jeep's Badge of Honor program. Jeep drivers can download Jeep Badge of Honor app on iOS or Android, check-in the app, and receive a badge after completing the trail. See Jeep Badge of Honor for more information.

Jeep Beach Parade is an exhilarating coastal adventure where the sun-kissed skies meet the salty breeze from the blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean at the world-famous Daytona Beach. A topless vehicle cruising along the shore offers an idyllic feeling of freedom unlike anything else. The picturesque tangerine-colored sky at sunrise pairs nicely with the sound of the crashing waves to provide a beautiful, soothing, natural soundtrack for your journey.

The distant laughter of beachgoers can be heard all along this vacation destination, where you can cruise miles of beach or park and enjoy this sand-made empire. Caution is advised as sun and sand seekers commingle with the vehicle traffic.

This route is home to thousands of Jeeps congregating each spring for the annual Jeep Beach adventure. While many park and watch the endless procession roll by, others partake in the miles-long beach parade that boasts more than 12,000 Jeeps. This 10-mile route is bumper-to-bumper as jeeps slowly crawl by from sunrise to sunset.

Trail 11 is one of the longest trails in the Citrus Wildlife Management Area. The trail is great for any novice and moderately experienced off-roader looking for more experience! Drivers will travel through bright white sugar-sand, drive through off-camber areas carved into the forest bed, climb severely eroded ledges, and roll tires through some mud. Trail 11 has scenic areas and elevation changes the more explorers move north through the forest. Trail 11 is one of the best trails in Citrus WMA because it has something for everyone! Citrus Wildlife Management Area is a very popular and active Management Area. Citrus WMA is almost 50,000 acres and is part of both Citrus and Hernando counties. Citrus WMA provides plenty of four-wheeling, hiking, biking, and horse riding trails along with multiple camping sites.

Trail 8 is probably the most difficult trail in Citrus WMA! Many offroaders have become stuck on Trail 8 due to deep ruts and slippery mud located towards the beginning of the trail. Once past the mud and ruts Trail 8 calms down but drivers will need to watch for mud holes, and climb over ledges where Florida's torrential downpours have washed away the trail! Explorers will also disappear below ground level as deep trenches have been dug into the soil from countless heavy machinery maintaining the trail.
