National Forest Road 14 is a scenic road traveling across southern Ocala National Forest. FR14 has many hills to climb, offering Ocala's "trail to the sky" feature from the precision straight cut trail that makes trails appear to touch the sky in the distance. FR14 runs alongside high voltage power lines and connects to many other trails.
Ocala National Forest is one of three National Forests in Florida. Spanning 385,000 acres, Ocala is the second largest National Forest in Florida. Exploring Ocala National Forest can be done in many ways, such as hiking, boating, horseback, OHV, ATV, and street-legal vehicles. Ocala National Forest is great for anyone looking to hunt, camp, watch wildlife, visit a shooting range, or even see the Naval Bombing Range!

From the intersection of SE Highway 42 and SE 252nd Ct, take SE Highway 42 west for almost 5 miles. Turn north onto SE 182nd Ave and follow it for four miles until a roadsign for SE 127 St Rd. Turn onto SE 127 St. Rd. The trail starts here.
Nice and easy, 2WD is all you need. Opportunity to see turtles, deer, and other animals. Nice views from some of the small hills, not a bad sunset/sunrise scenic drive.
FR14 is a basic dirt road. It does offer multiple hilltops that allow some nice views.
