Ocala Advanced Trail

Come and join us as we are led through the Ocala National Forest Advanced Trail!! Included in this track are mud holes, articulated sections, an off camber loop, several water crossings, and the infamous hogmans hole!! We even stopped at one point and had to call Forestry... Lets get into it and find out why!!

[@wordgiesworld5483]

I’ve been out at ONF several times over the years with several groups. I went out with Ron and Karen this past Friday and had a BLAST! Ron is a wealth of knowledge and passed that knowledge over the radio.

[@OffRoadAdventures155]

Yea!! Absolutely love Karen 😊 In my opinion, she’s the best trail boss in Ocala!!

[@stan_25-gaming45]

Just went out with Ron and Karen Saturday night an man ohhh man is Ronicon awesome to listen to. I could have listed to him all night long

[@RachelVargaOfficial]

Great video!!!!! I look forward to taking the Land Rover through this!

[@OffRoadAdventures155]

It’s really dry right now so it would just be scenic. I heard there is a pretty bad wildfire north of 19 that’s been going for a while as well, so BoH north is also out. Might be a good time to check out Richloam. If you still want this track though, feel free to email me for the GPX file!

Writing love from Florida, this is 🔥🔥🔥

Cheers man!! 😊🤙

I want take my land rover with you next time!

[@psycologyofstupid7829]

Great video - love all the fantastic shots too!! This looks so fun! Does it t have an official name or would you mind sharing details on how to get to it, coordinates to the entrance maybe 😋

[@OffRoadAdventures155]

Not a problem and thank you for the praise! No real official name, but my friend is trying to make it an official Jeep Badge of Honor Trail. Not sure how that is going at all, but it starts and ends in Paisley. Email me at offroadadventures155@ google.com (less the space) I’ll send you the GPX file to use in GAIA as a map!! 😊

Nice! Hogmans Hole is awesome great diving!

Thanks man! So many ways through it. Pick your poison lol.

[@_Nothingbasic]

Really would love to know how to find this trail it’s exactly what my group loves to ride ! Going this weekend just tried emailing you!

[@peterpowers4851]

That section at 13:20 looks crazy on camera. I can't imagine what it actually looked like in person as the cameras never do it justice. Nice driving guys. Great video.

[@OffRoadAdventures155]

Thanks bud! There were a couple parts that felt like you would tip over, but they really weren’t too bad. Somewhere around a 25 degree angle. We have come back from 30 degree inclines before, so to us it was just another day. To some of the others with us.. they sounded like they needed new pants lol. 🤣 you are completely right though, I try my best, but the camera never really does anything justice..

when you went north where did you all go in the forest again at. want to do the north side of 40

[@OffRoadAdventures155]

None of this trail was off of 40. Was all south of it on the eastern side of Ocala. Near Paisley.

[@Ronicon08JK]

Fun times!

[@OffRoadAdventures155]

Absolutely!! That was a good trail!

[@accountsreceivable6948]

How do I get to this trail? You just said head south paisley. I’m coming from Leesburg. How would get to it?

[@OffRoadAdventures155]

Go to the dollar general in Paisley. There is a cemetery just south of it. Turn right at the end of it.

[@charlesbleam3416]

Tired to send you an email but it bounced back. Do you have one that works? Would like to get more information on where this is located. Thanks.

Yes, I’ll gladly send the track to you! Try offroadadventures155 @gmail.com without the space.

[@kevinboer4848]

Looks like a nice leisurely cruise. Are there any more "advanced" trails than this?

[@OffRoadAdventures155]

In Ocala? Not really lol. Have you seen the Badge of Honor trail?? There are other parks and WMA’s that have more challenging trails and obstacles. Check out Hardrock and Ol’ Florida Off Road!

[@kevinboer4848]

@OffRoadAdventures155 Thanks for the suggestions. I sold my lifted truck years ago after moving to the east coast of FL. There simply wasn't any (legal) trails around. I miss the offroading in the UP, there's miles of trails and some really challenging terrain.

Of course. We haven’t gone out in a while. If you want to go out with people sooner than later, look up Florida Trail Stompers on Facebook. They have events almost every weekend. Tell them I sent you! I’m on there myself. Look me up to get in touch. (Zoltan)

How did you get started with off roading?

[@OffRoadAdventures155]

I’ve always enjoyed exploring. I just started to use my FJ one day and it spiraled from there. 🤷‍♂️

[@mr.dronez8315]

Hey saw your video off roading along with the Rivian. Looking to do this trail in Ocala on Monday. First timer. Any suggestions or advice.

[@mr.dronez8315]

The reason I mentioned the R1T is that’s what I’m going with

[@OffRoadAdventures155]

@@mr.dronez8315 very nice. You shouldn’t have any issue at all right now. I keep hearing reports from others that wheel the area that it is quite dry at the moment. Not saying it won’t be scenic, but a lot milder of a trail. I’d consider hitting Citrus or Richloam currently. They would be much more interesting. Richloam is probably passable in all areas right now.

[@LightningMcDrift]

can i join you guys next time i have a lifted jeep wrangler aswell i live in the orlando area

[@OffRoadAdventures155]

We may be going to Lazy Springs this weekend and have a Picayune State Forest trip in the works though I’m reserving that for prepared rigs that have experience with us. You are welcome to join us at Lazy Springs if you want?

@@charlesjordan7249 assuming you have 4 wheel drive.. you could do most of the trails at both parks. I wouldn’t do any rock or culvert obstacles without some protection, but there is a lot that you could do. Maybe consider a couple trail rides before attempting one of the parks? I have videos from both of those locations to see what you are getting into if interested! 🤙

[@jdev232]

This is advanced!? 😂 a bike path with a couple mudholes. Go to Uwharrie, Ouray, moab, rausch creek.

[@OffRoadAdventures155]

Hahaha yea.. 😆 it’s all relative. There isn’t anything that crazy in Florida let alone Ocala.

[@jdev232]

@OffRoadAdventures155 I see. Lol. I haven't been to moab since 21, and now that I'm in swfl, I don't believe I'll be making that drive in a tj. If you get a chance, try Uwharrie, within 8 hours of central fl? I give all you guys credit tho, I'm not spending 3 days cleaning mud. 😂👍

@OffRoadAdventures155 you can have a blast in Colorado and Utah without 35s. The scenery is worth it anyway, but ya...I had 37s and 35s when I wheeled...cuz bigger is better?? 👍 you can always fly to moab, rent a jeep, built jeep..airport is 7 miles outside of town. Wife and I will probably do that in next couple years, also moab on horseback.

[@Ya_Boi_Newton]

Why not just let the fire burn? Native Florida environments thrive with fires like this and have adapted to be on fire basically all the time. Good idea to call the forest service, but ideally they'd just dig a fire break and let the fire burn out.

[@OffRoadAdventures155]

Ocala has been hit hard with uncontrolled fired this summer. One was burning and spreading for over a month in the northern section. We love the forest and understand why controlled burns are necessary, but this wasn’t one of them.

[@Ya_Boi_Newton]

@OffRoadAdventures155 I get where you're coming from, but IMO putting the fire out rather than containing the fire was the wrong thing to do. Wild fires aren't necessarily bad, especially when monitored and frequently occurring. The more small fires like this one are allowed to occur, it becomes much less likely that any one of them will become an uncontrollable blaze. Not shaming you or anything, just trying to change the culture around fire ecology in Florida. Great video!
