At the intersection of FL-441 and FL-60 in Okeechobee, FL, take FL-60 west for almost 15 miles. On the right, there will be a dirt trail with a gate on the right/north side with no road signs but it is Road 10. Continue on Road 10 for 5 miles and there will be a brown and white sign for Road 9. The trail starts here.
Road 8 and 9 are fun trails if you like mud and water crossings. Crossing that are usually under water have rocks to help prevent vehicles from getting stuck. Overall an easy trail for any 4WD truck/SUV.
