Lake City /Ocean Pond

Prairie Master · August 30, 2005, 09:32:37 AM

Has anyone ridden in this area if so just wanted to know how the trails, I'm planning on going there this weekend.

It will have plenty of water and very shady. You will have a blast. All the trails are marked also. Went a couple months ago and need to go again but not this weekend. The trails will have water but will be hard bottom so you can go through them ok. The deepest it was a few months back was about 2ft at the most.

Cool thanks.... If anyone is down there and want to go we'll be at the Ocean pond campground

yunt2ride · August 30, 2005, 03:22:52 PM

Never rode at ocean pond itself but I do not think that you can ride out from the camping area. We always parked at Cobb Camp and rode frome there. We need to check out other areas.

OK, so this is not the same place as in Ocean Pond in Old Town?

Im looking to ride somewhere this weekend up their. I will be in Ft. White not far from Lake City. Have a group of about 8 4x4 quads.

Ocean Pond in Dixie Cty is a mud bog. I am not sure if there is riding there.

Ocean Pond campground is in the Osceola Nat'l. Forest near Lake City in Columbia & Baker Counties.

Depending on how much you want to pay. They are both good places to ride. Ocean Pond Mud Bog in Old Town is $15 per person.

Its free to ride in the forest , We are going to the camp ground not the mud hole

BTW where is cobb camp?

yunt2ride · August 31, 2005, 08:40:12 AM

You can get a map from the office. Its the only place that we have been but we need to check out some of the other areas.

450R_Matt · August 31, 2005, 07:08:03 PM

I would like to find some trails to ride up in this area this weekend. If your riding in the National Forest you will need a title right.

hey matt if you want to check this place out i'm in, let me know

, hey by the way when dose anyone know when hunting season starts ?

Hollywood · September 01, 2005, 09:19:56 PM

I might could meet yall out at Osceola this weekend it's close for me and I can't get to far from work being on call.

Someone would need to stop buy a ranger station and get an ORV map I know parts are restricted and I can't find the map online.

Steve hunting season is Nov. 12th I am on vacation that week

450R_Matt · September 01, 2005, 09:39:20 PM

Hollywood,

Check the link I put up, i think your map is on that site. If you know the area we need a team leader for Sat but whats the deal with this area do we need a ORV sticker to ride in the Forest?

Hollywood · September 01, 2005, 09:42:44 PM

I'll take a look at it. I have hunted there for years but never really explored it on an quad. I know they lay of the land but that's about it. Same deal as Ocala. No special stuff.

Hollywood · September 01, 2005, 09:46:11 PM

Nah it says to contact the District Ranger Station for current maps.

yunt2ride · September 01, 2005, 10:05:03 PM

I can tell you that the trails are marked with signs everywhere. It is best to get a map from the rangers station also.

Hollywood · September 01, 2005, 10:06:40 PM

Tony get your crew together let's do this!
