This sixty mile stretch of road along Florida State Route 40 begins just west of I-95 in Ormond Beach and goes west to Silver Springs. Along the drive it passes through the Ocala National Forest. We had picked four trails to hike in the National Forest, but they were closed due to hurricane damage (high water or downed trees). We still enjoyed seeing the trees, wetlands, wildflowers but no bears although the density of black bear population is highest in this region.
