Central Florida Trail Vortex Mountain Bike Complex to Paved Santos Hike in Ocala

Just 1.7 miles from the Santos trailhead in Ocala Florida is the Vortex. This is a mountain biking playground that attracts people from all over the world. What is restively unknown is the Florida Trail cuts right through this complex. This a a beautiful and easy hike through OLD Pine and GIANT oak trees. The hike can be cut up into 3 to 6 mile hikes (and beyond) when combined (or not) with the paved Santos bike path.
