Isnt there supposed to be trails in Ocala National Forest? Id love to know where there is something other than mud holes in Florida.

JeepersCreepers

Im more into the trails than just mud.

I'm gonna guess that rock crawling is out of the picture down there, just like where I live. Trails, mud and the beach are the options here.

JeepersCreepers

yeah. there is very little rocks here.

Im kind of suprised that there are no challenging areas in Ocala, I do alot of mountain biking up there and the terrain is pretty intense. Lots of elevation and rocks-you wouldnt believe your in Florida!

I have never been to the place in ocala. Im new to off roading. Can you go there anytime or just during an event.

jekyllrider

from what ive heard the trails that are open are open all the time. ive never driven the off road trails though, just mountainbiked on the bike trails. the mountain bike trails are pretty sick though so i would think there should be some fun off road trails. theres an ocala jeep club but they didnt have a ton of info about the trails on their site, they do trail work and cleanup though so they must be involved with the park management.

JeepersCreepers

sweet. that would be nice if it was open all the time. I want to go once my 4wd gets fixed.

jekyllrider

I was just on their website again and I dont even see a forum. I would like to find out some more info before I drag the jeep up there....

JeepersCreepers

well if you decide to go let me know. I want to go with another Cherokee

jekyllrider

10-4, so would I. I think they have events up there, that would probably be good cause there would be people who know the trails.

JeepersCreepers

true. true. I need to get some mudding under my belt first so i dont look like a complete idiot cause it would be my first time.

jekyllrider

and you got the bigger truck so you cant get stuck, those pics would be hard to live down
