Seaboard Grade

Trail Overview

This trail is located within the Babcock-Webb Wildlife Management Area. The Florida Fish & Wildlife Commission requires a $3 per person or $6 per vehicle for daily use fee. Some exceptions may apply to those who hold a current WMA Permit from FWC, check with FWC and download the specific WMA regulations posted on their website. Once onsite you are required to check-in at the "Check Station", which is an iron post next to an information board located on the south side of Tuckers Grade. The trail north of Tuckers Grade is a rock trail, that can be ungraded and narrow in some areas. Along the East side of the trail is a canal, drainage ditch, and along the West side are wetlands and pinewood flat areas. The trail South of Tuckers Grade is a narrow single vehicle wide unmaintained, unevenly graded dirt and sand trail. Similar to the other half of Seaboard, there is a canal/wet drainage ditch on one side and wetlands or pineland flats on the other. South of Tuckers Grade provides limited pull-offs for passing, those areas that have them may have step ledges or soft shoulders that a 2WD vehicle may risk getting stuck. The trail leads through a good portion of the 70,000 plus acre Wildlife Management Area. This is a nice leisurely trail for those wanting the opportunity to view Florida wildlife (e.g. Alligators, Whitetail Deer, Wild Hogs, Coyote, Bobcats, Bald Eagles, etc.) or cattle along this trail. The trail can be driven by most 2WD vehicles and ORV/OHV year around. There are several picturesque ponds just off the trail that provide great fishing and wildlife viewing opportunities. The Florida Fish & Wildlife Commission limits access to only named and numbered trails due to severe impacts of Off-Road Vehicle/Off-Highway Vehicles (ORV/OHV) and related environmental damages. Remember to tread lightly and to remain on only named or numbered roads/trails.
