Apex Road is a beginner-friendly, 3-mile trail located on the southern side of Goethe State Forest in central Florida. This well-maintained dirt and limestone road offers an easy off-road experience with minimal obstacles, making it perfect for AWD cars, 2WD trucks/SUVs, and drivers of all skill levels. The mostly straight trail features short corners and no significant elevation changes, with only scattered potholes presenting minor challenges. Explorers will enjoy diverse scenery ranging from prescribed burn areas to overgrown brush sections and cleared logging zones. Since the trail is actively used by the Florida Forest Service and logging companies, visitors should expect to encounter heavy equipment during their journey. This accessible route provides an excellent introduction to off-road driving within the expansive 54,000-acre state forest.
