The Ocala National Forest in Florida is home to several ATV trails where off-road enthusiasts can enjoy the outdoors. The climate of the forest is such that ATV enthusiasts are comfortable year-round, with temperatures from about November to February being approximately 72 degrees. Although the summer months will tend to make this area significantly warmer with increased moisture, the area is still a major draw for off-highway vehicle trail riding.
Passes are required to use the trails and can purchased at several trail heads in the area. Exact change is required. Children who are 15 years old or younger are charged half the price of an adult rider permit. - Greenery surrounding an ATV trailca?¡À??n de a?¡Àisclo image by ABUELO RAMIRO from Fotolia.com
