The Ocala National Forest is a unique and productive forest that is actively managed to restore native environments while, at the same time, providing recreation opportunities. The forest maintains three trail systems for off-road vehicles: the Ocala North, Centennial, and Wandering Wiregrass OHV Trail Systems. The Centennial trail system offers two loops, a large outer loop with a smaller one sharing to bottom of the larger. Note that all trails have sections that share Forest Service roads that allow for both licensed and unlicensed vehicles.
