The Ocala National Forest is the southernmost national forest in the continental United States. It was established at the turn of the 20th century, though it has always been home to the Timucua. It spans across sand pine scrub forests, freshwater lakes, and natural springs. It is also a haven for wildlife like Florida black bears, alligators, and countless bird species. The Florida Black Bear Scenic Byway winds through the heart of the Big Scrub, and its mild winters make it a perfect year-round camp spot.
