Richloam WMA has a wide variety of activities such as hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, bike, and horseback riding.
McKinney Sink Road safely travels through multiple ponds and swampland and ends at one of the best hiking trails in Richloam WMA.

Starting at the intersection for US-301 and FL-50 Cortez Blvd, take FL-50 east for 1.4 miles. On the left, there will be a dirt road with no other identification. Turn left/north onto McKinney Sink Road.
quite literally a hard packed dirt road with the occasional pot hole, we went after quite a bit of rain but it was still fairly dry on this one. The claysink is the only reason to give it 4 stars, it is the perfect place to play around climb the sides and go through the ruts and middle. If its been raining do not go through the middle of the water or you will get stuck even on 35's
Easy to find trail. No concerns from a navigation perspective. Mildly interesting from a tourist’s perspective. Worth the visit for someone like me who drives a stock Subaru Outback.
McKinney Sink road is great trail to demo what Richloam WMA is like: green, wet, and flat. The hiking area and clay sink pond are cool.
