Title: We rode Osceola National Forrest Today
Post by: gmiller0737 on October 26, 2009, 05:34:05 PM
Took the Kids to Osceola Riding since they were out of school they had a blast didn't see any other riders,The 1st trails we rode were great rode about 12 miles,Then we went to a different part of the forrest trails there were much wetter the kids loved it but they got so muddy that I took them to the lake to wash some of the mud off before I would let them in the front of My truck

Thanks for the info. I have not made it up there yet. Do you know if they have any overnight camping areas and cost?

There is a Campground at Ocean Pond (In the forrest) & I think there is a small one at HogPen Landing not sure on the cost.

There are no fees,But it is a National Forrest Like Ocals so you must have a Green Sticker on your ATV & Proof of ownership,I have never seen a Ranger Out there but I do not ride on weekends,I have seen FWC Officers out there from time to time,We usually start out riding the trails between forrest road 215 & 241 and move to other areas as the day goes on there is 10 to 15 miles of trails between 215 & 241,On this site at the top menu bar if you click (Where to Ride) then you can click on Osceola's site & you can view/download maps,We plan to avoid riding out there for at least the first 2 weeks of Genral Gun Hunting Season as there are usually Quite a few hunters
