Centennial Trail OHV ??

[runfox]

I have been going back and forth across hwy 40 through the Ocala National Forest and saw the sign " Centennial Trail OHV". IS this a new trail, where does it go? IS this the connecting trail from the north end down to the big scrub in the south? Any one have any Ideas? Grizzly bear??

Runs around the bombing range. The forest web site has a map online for it. The trail is about 46 miles long with two or three trail heads.

Thanks I saw the signs, but had no idea where it went. I saw the map, has anyone been on this trail, is it worth riding, or just a bunch of the same ol mile after mile? Is this a new trail?

same old trails with some new, very tight for two way traffic, especially four wheelers.

I am sure it is very dangerous as well. In a trail system, TWO WAY TRAFFIC is crazy and stupid IMO.

Where does this trail cross 40?  Or where are the trail heads I guess I should ask?

We are coming up next weekend and am looking for someone new to check out.  Is it worth it?  Thanks, Dawn

It's a nice trail. Slow down around blind turns and don't let any kids lead.
There is mile or so on a main road (dirt) with a 15 mph speed limit. Don't get stupid they will be waiting for you at the end.

It does not cross 40, that is part of a future planned project.

One of the trailheads is the Big Scrub campground of course you have to pay the camping fee there.  Another is about 2 miles east of Big Scrub just off the forest road.  The other trailhead I remember was north quite a bit and west of Hwy. 19.  It was right next to a lake, but I don't remember the Forest Road #.
