Hidden off-road surprise in Central FL

[FloridaBroncoPipeDream]

I was told of this place by local rednecks called "the black hole". It's usually a muddy mess, but since the weather has been dry the last week, it really helps make this an off-roading paradise. Miles and miles of hilly and bumpy trails which is something of an oddity in Florida where most trails are muddy and flat. It sorta made me wish I gotten a true sas even though I'm rolling on 275/70r18 k02s. Some parts I rolled in 4L but most of it all can be tackled in 4H. Would like to try again once I upgrade to 35's and get a proper lift. Located near Port St. John, FL.

Your rig looks nice. SAS is cool but I love the painted flares and mirrors, the 275s have a great fit. I think how you have it, you are far ahead as far as in road MPGs and daily drivability? Looks awesome.

Nice trails where are they? In Port Orange and looking for some new spots.

I have the 33's on my Badlands and it is more than capable. Completed Fins and Things out in Utah and Cinnamon Pass in Colorado with 0 issues. I am considering 35's when I need new tires but it is definitely not necessary, especially in Florida.

Is this the area? I’ve driven by it a few times working in the area.

Just east of Tosohatchee?

That ain't too far for me...

@Zstngz @Dlars99 @Area51BS @tyrobronco Yes it is this location. Enter at the location from golfview ave just south of the creek. and just head west. Lots of trails back there. Alternatively you can enter from the south from the northern end Pine street. But this is just easier to get to since it's just off I-95.

I must stress this, DO NOT attempt to go near where I put the X. There is a very tight and very high angle turn at this location. If you are not careful your bronco can slide down the turn and bump into a massive slab of concrete and rock at this angle. This is easy to do because this is sand after all. I almost did this with my rig and I would have been pissed. Other than that, most of the trails are easy and wide enough for a bronco. Hardly any trails that are ATV only.

Additionally I did see no trespassing signs north of this creek. along the trail. For serious off roaders, keep heading west as far as you can and you will get to "the black hole" but this is mostly for ATV and dune buggy riders. I haven't gotten there with a bronco, but with a SAS package I probably would have pressed on and gone out there.

This is the trail area. The area to the north is accessible and there are trails, but I did see 1-2 no trespass signs on the edge.

This area is known as Faye wilderness Park
