I assume there is going to be camping? I might be able to make it out for that...

Toomey · March 01, 2005, 05:07:50 PM

Something happened to the thread?

I'll still be there though.

eric · March 02, 2005, 10:40:18 PM

Might be there if my new quad (which I should have this week) is broken in by then

Toomey · March 03, 2005, 03:35:26 PM

How many people do you think will be there during the week, since it's spring break?

eric · March 03, 2005, 03:42:14 PM

Hopefully it will be packed like New Years

That was fun!!!

Toomey · March 03, 2005, 05:46:59 PM

I will be camping for either Saturday/Sunday, or Monday/Tuesday.

Toomey · March 06, 2005, 02:13:09 PM

2 weeks more, anyone else?

Agent · March 07, 2005, 05:25:22 PM

I am not going to be able to make it like I originally thought I was going to...

GSPKurt · March 09, 2005, 04:23:13 AM

I may be in for the 19th. I'd like to meet some of you people. I won't camp. I live close by (~1 hr.)

Mars · March 12, 2005, 07:53:13 PM

Toomey · March 13, 2005, 07:12:05 AM

GSPKurt · March 14, 2005, 06:46:19 AM

I'm planning to go but the weather may be pretty bad this weekend. I really don't want to drive 4 hours in the rain with a 10k lb TH.

GSPKurt · March 16, 2005, 09:49:02 PM

Weather.com says no rain til Monday.

Hey Jabo,
Welcome to ATVFL

Big Scrub is a campground where atv's are allowed to ride in an out and park and camp. It is located on the south end of the Ocala Forest just north of Altoona FL. Its off forest rd 573 and 588. Here are some pics of the trails. http://www.atvflorida.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=readersrides;action=display;num=1107755898 Let me know if you need anymore info. - eric

05kodiak450 · March 19, 2005, 06:43:09 PM

Hey guys I was wondering if you all could give a little info on this place.. I have never been to ONF so i need to know how to get there. I will be leaving from the oviedo area. I see also that you have to pay 4$ to park and I also see where people say just park across the street and its free. Is this true cause i dont want my truck to get towed or anything. Any info is appreciated [smiley=BigSmile.gif]

OK from Oviedo I would say find a route to get to hwy 441 and head north on 441. Get off 441 and onto hwy 19 where they meet near Tavares and continue North on 19. You will go past the town of Altoona heading north still on 19 and you will see the "Welcome to the Ocala National Forest" sign. Travel another few minutes more and on your right hand side you will see a blue sign that says rd 445 but dont turn here. Pass that sign and get ready to turn left within like 1 mile or less onto forest rd 573 which enters hwy19 at an angle which you'll already be on. 573 isn't marked well so you might pass it your first time but its easy to know if you've gone to far because you will go under some of those tall-high powered powerlines that lead to Scrub and if you do just turn around. 573 starts off as pavement and then turns into a dirt road after a few hundred yards. Just stay on the dirt road for 7 miles and you will come to the campground on your right at the intersection of forest roads 573 and 588. You can't really miss the campground. I usually park under the powerlines just outside the campground since it's free. If you plan on staying overnight just drive into the campground and you will need to pay about $6 I think. Have fun!

See if using this map helps. You can zoom in and out and print it to:

05kodiak450 · March 19, 2005, 07:36:22 PM

Thanks alot man. I know some of you guys will frown on this but are helmets required out there? I'm on a utility quad and hardley ever get over 15mph.

eric · March 19, 2005, 08:06:04 PM

No helmets are not required for adults but you might at least want goggles for the dust.

Say if you have never been you might enjoy the good sized sandy sink hole near the campground. When you ride out of the campground go under the powerlines and head to the right. Follow the lines west (away from hwy 19) about a half mile. Stay under the lines but ride alongside the road and you should see a wide trail on the right across the road. Cross the road onto the wide trail and only about another half mile back on the right is a large sinkhole with trails leading down into and up out of it. It's fun for a little while
