ATV Florida Forum

Before someone tells me to do a search, I've looked and I've seen snipets of the rules in the forest now.  Is there someplace online that has them written?  I haven't seen anything posted where we ride in the forest.

when you first get onto atvflorida.com website, in top left corner, in yellow letters,click on "where to ride". croom & o.n.f. will come up. hope this helps.

The Ocala National Forest offers many enjoyable locations to ride Off Road Vehicles. While the Forest Service has not designated or marked specific ORV trails, there are many unnumbered roads and travel ways that zigzag throughout the forest where you may ride. Restricted Areas are designated to protect certain biological communities, such as wetlands. These ares are shown in the Off Road Vehicle Use Restricted Area map. In addition to this information you may want to purchase a detailed forest map or topography map.

Regulations:

    * State and Federal laws apply to all vehicles, including their operation, equipment, and licensing.  You are responsible for knowing these laws.  Click to view the Florida Motor Vehicles Regulations website.
    * Florida law requires off highway vehicles purchased after July 1, 2002 and operated on public lands to be titled. Applications must be submitted to your local tax collector's office or Department of Motor Vehicles. Click to link to the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.
    * Unlicensed vehicles are prohibited on the numbered forest roads.
    * All vehicle traffic is prohibited in the following areas:
          o Pinecastle Bombing Range
          o All Wilderness Areas
          o Florida National Scenic Hiking Trail
          o Alexander Springs Scenic Area
          o Paisley Woods Bicycle Trail
    * In campgrounds, picnic sites and other developed areas unlicensed vehicles should be trailered or carried by other means of transportation when entering or leaving the area. Big Scrub campground and Lake Delancy West campground are the only two exceptions to this rule. ORVs may be ridden directly from your campsite out of these campgrounds and into the general forest area.
    * Restricted Areas are designated sections of the forest where some roads or trails are closed to vehicle traffic. In these areas travel is permitted only on numbered roads by licensed vehicles. These areas are posted and marked with red signs.  Click to view the Off Road Vehicle Restricted Areas map.
