Sinkhole Trail is a 2.3 mile lightly trafficked loop trail located near Ocala, Florida that offers the chance to see wildlife and is good for all skill levels. The trail is primarily used for hiking, nature trips, and bird watching and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
Silver Springs State Park charges a fee to enter. Fees are $8/vehicle ($5 for single occupant vehicles), $2 for visitors entering on foot or bicycle, and $4/vessel launch. The Florida State Parks Annual Pass is also available for $60/individual or $120/family.
March 19, 2021February 15, 2021Great Trail, but the only thing the trail needs upkeep and markers. lots of down trees. The sinkhole board walk is in dire need of repair, pretty much lots of rotted boards. The entrance road is a dirt road, so not good on rainy days unless you have a truck.
February 6, 2021Very nice trail. Flat, well paved. Good bathroom facilities nearby. If you just want a walk through nature, this is it!
January 30, 2021January 17, 2021January 16, 2021January 3, 2021Very nice trail. It was well marked and wide. We hiked it after a rain event. We found it to be well drained. It was January and a perfect day for a hike.
December 24, 2020Nice little loop leaving from campground.
December 17, 2020The extension is worth the time. Close to the road and campground at times, but shady and some beautiful live oaks. noon
November 3, 2020Great day awesome weather. Numerous birds a deer.
October 14, 2020Did the two extensions off of Sinkhole trail called Sandhill Trail and Old Field trail
October 12, 2020Nice trail pretty flat and level sinkhole was in Normas more of a depression than a sinkhole. A lot of deer tracks but didn’t see much wildlife.
October 11, 2020October 11, 2020Nice trail through the Florida woods. Easy to follow and quiet -- didn't see anyone else on the trail on a Saturday morning.
May 31, 2020March 7, 2019This trail i thought I'd do but the trail is closed for construction and was told it's been a while since it was open ..who ever is in charge , let's get er done ..
November 25, 2018Well marked and clear trails with nice picnic areas. Not that interesting of a hike though. Lots of sign of wild boar, but the sinkhole is overgrown and not much to look at. Also the mosquitoes were moderately annoying.
February 4, 2018Nice trail to hike or bike.
November 18, 2017Nice easy trail wich is part of a bigger trail system within Silver Springs State Park. Typical Florida ecosystems around a large sink hole which is located on the southern half of loop.

First to ReviewThis is a nice walk on mostly hard pack trail with some sections being loose sand. Lots of wildlife spotted and signs of wild Boar so be on the look out.
