Have to have the green sticker which means its titled, I think you have to have a helmet, and there is a fee of you have to pay at the trail head, last time I went it was 10 bucks for two or three days of riding.

Welcome to the forum 352guy!!!!! Patches206 is correct about the green sticker if want to be legal, seen a few Sat. that didn't have them & also were riding 2 up. ( not legal to unless its a factory 2 up) Helmets are suggested but not required. He is also correct about the $10 pass good for 3 days!!!!! The pass is good @ all 3 places in Ocala. North Trails, Wiregrass Loop & Centennial Loop (Ocala Adventure Trail). Hope this answers your questions.

Very last minute, but I'm going to ride the centennial trail tomorrow afternoon. Was planing on parking at the big scrub campground and doing the loop, then maybe riding wandering grass too.

thanks for the welcome. maybe i ask what 2 up is? It's when 2 people ride 1 ATV. Some people mount a cargo box/seat on the back of their wheelers to make it more comfotable for the second person but the wheeler was designed to carry 1 person. The factory 2up wheeler is designed to carry 2 people & is usually little wider & has a longer wheel base & is more stable with 2 people on board!! |

My son & I rode the Centennial Trail on Friday & as we were unloading a Ranger pulled up & informed us that the trail head on FR9 south of HWY40 is soon to close. They have just about completed the new Trail Head on FR13 south of HWY40. He said the new Trail Head is located just as the pavement ends on FR13. We had a great ride & seen 3 deer. Sections of the trail was tire hopped bad!!!!! We stopped & ate lunch & went for swim @ Blue Sink. It was a refreshing swim as the water is still on the cool side. There were a few poeple camping at Big Scrub & the brush along the trail going into it has been trimmed back at the corners. They did a nice job!!!!!!!!!!!

Where is this new trail head? The worst part of the centennial trail heads is the drive for miles down the dirt road. We usually park at the trail head closet to blue sink down the road from big scrub. Is this new one on the complete opposite side? |

Hello Starbuc71! Yes the new trail head is on the north side of the loop, Blue Sink is on the south side of the loop. The new Trail Head is just south of HWY40 on FR13. According to the Ranger FR13 is paved for a distance when you turn onto it off HWY40 so it will be nice not to have to drive on the dirt roads to get to it. They have already moved the signs from FR9 to FR13 on HWY40. He said all they were lacking is the new sign that has the big map, small maps & envelopes.

I'm the ranger you ran into. I try to keep some update son here and answer questions when I can. I'm glad I met you guys while I was out there. Sorry about the areas where it is tire-hopped, I hope to get out with the rake soon and finish up the trail. I'm glad you like where the volunteers have trimmed back. I will keep working to improve the trail when I get good days at work to do so! I love the Centennial Trail and will put some good effort into it this summer while my volunteers are away. Thanks again for enjoying the trail and I hope to run into you again sometime in the near future! -Kris |
