Osceola National Forest is one of three National Forests in Florida. Spanning 266,000 acres Osceola is the smallest of Florida's National Forests. Exploring Osceola National Forest can be done in many ways such as hiking, ATVs, horseback, and street-legal vehicles. Ocala National Forest is great for anyone looking to hunt, camp, watch wildlife, or visit the Lewis D. Whitaker shooting range!
National Forest Road 212 is a scenic trail located in the middle of Osceola National Forest. The trail takes explorers through the forest and swampland. Even during the dry season, there will be many areas of FR212 underwater! FR212 also has Big Camp Hunt Camp which is a quiet and peaceful camp located a bit off of the trail.

to give you a visual understanding of what to expect.
Starting at the intersection of FL-90 and County Road 229, take CR-229 north for 11 miles (CR-229 will turn into CR-250). On the east/left of CR-250, there will be a brown sign for FR232. Follow FR232 for 6.5 miles and there will be a brown sign with 212. Turn right/west to the trailhead for FR212.
FR212 is a fun trail if you like crossing water. The only downside is I wish FR212 was longer.
