@Roky can definitely confirm Citrus locations; it’s basically his backyard.

Just search for Citrus WMA

It's trail 14 or 15 as others have said.

Every few years it gets "leveled", but there's also some other off camber trails, mud holes, easy fire trails, etc.

It can be a nice place to explore for a day. Just keep an eye out for others including horseback riders and FL Trail hikers.

As fellow hiker trash myself, I can tell you that a drink and/or a friendly wave is MUCH appreciated if you find through hikers out there this time of year as it's miserable, but in a type 2 fun way.

James, it’s also good to know what the rules are out there, and what areas/trails are off limits to vehicles. We don’t need assholes ruining it for the rest of us. I strongly implore folks to go to the WMA website to get the info before going.

Leave the place better than you found it and help everyone keep places open and respected
