Trail Overview
South Cross offers 5 miles of soft sand to cruise on underneath powerlines running east-west. Conditions are typically good and the trail is accessible to any vehicle with 4WD and a set of decent all-terrain tires. This trail runs alongside a much harder-packed surface sand/clay road that allows for any sections that are too difficult to be bypassed. There are a few sections of whoops and small hills that could prove to be a challenge. Cell service is spotty in most of Ocala National Forest.

Difficulty
Soft sand in certain areas can be difficult to navigate, combined with sections of small whoops that could be an issue for vehicles with low ground clearance. Multiple small hills along the route could be difficult to climb in the sand.
