Off-Highway Vehicle enthusiasts can now go on-line to buy permits to ride in the Apalachicola and Ocala national forests

Planning your trail ride in the National Forests in Florida just got a whole lot easier.  StartingSeptember 1, 2015, the Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) passes required to explore the over 300 miles of OHV trails in the Apalachicola and Ocala National Forests will be available online.
Trail riders will be able to purchase online at Recreation.gov. On the homepage, search for “Florida OHV,” pick which pass you want and when you want it, and print it at home. 
“We want to make sure it’s as simple as possible for our visitors to be able to get out and ride in and enjoy the National Forests in Florida,” said Jesse English, Recreation Program Manager for the Forest Service, “and making the passes available to purchase online and print at home makes getting your passes so much easier than making a special trip to the District Ranger Office.”
Trail riders will be able to purchase a 3-day, 7-day or annual pass that range in price from $10.00 per person to $75.00 per person. Visitors will also be able to purchase multiple passes at once, to save on online transaction fees. Your pass will be valid on all designated OHV trails in the Apalachicola and Ocala National Forests, and is not required to ride on the Osceola National Forest.
When riding, please remember to consult our Motor Vehicle Use Maps, available on our website. OHV riders are reminded that OHVs must stay on the designated trails. All cross-country travel by a motorized vehicle, including OHVs, is prohibited.
