Review:
As one of the southernmost forests in the United States, the Ocala National Forest offers endless opportunities for outdoor recreation no matter what the time of year. Much of the 600 square mile forest consists of unique sand pine scrub, and there are miles and miles of hiking, cycling, and horseback riding trails for visitors to explore. However, not all of the forest's recreational opportunities are on land; hundreds of springs, rivers, and lakes are dotted throughout the forest as well, and many visitors come here to paddle along the meandering canoe trails and swim or snorkel in the springs.
