Stompin' with Don in the Ocala National Forest - FTS Off-Roading

Join us as we ride through the SE portion of the Ocala National Forest (ONF) with the Florida Trail Stompers. The Ocala National Forest covers 607 square miles and was proclaimed as the first National Forest east of the Mississippi in the continental United States in 1908 by President Theodore Roosevelt. The ONF protects the world's largest contiguous sand pine scrub forest.

Despite its high, dry, central scrub ridges, the Ocala National Forest is rich in water resources with more than 600 lakes, rivers and springs.
Four major natural springs of crystal clear water can be enjoyed at the popular recreation areas of Juniper Springs, Salt Springs, Alexander Springs and Silver Glen Springs.
