Mountain Biking Scott Springs Park Trail
#192 of 289 mountain bike trails in Florida
A short loop that despite lack of rocks and roots is an intermediate ride that drops in and out of a retention pond, and has several small mounds and moguls.. Part of a park revitalization plan to place trails and skills parks thorough out the town.

.3 mile from the east entrance of the Paddock Mall turn right onto SW 24th Ave. Park is about 200 yards on the left.
So, I decided to go check out the skills section, before heading to Santos, to see if it would be good for my nephews to learn on. Short answer, it's not in my opinion. Whoever built the jump lines really needs to go see how they built them at Santos and replicate that. The jumps are at awkward angles, don't have much run-up, etc. Just seems really poorly planned. The only feature that remotely fun was the skinny. Doesn't look like anyone's ridden there in a while as well. Also tried the actual MTB trail...what a joke. Super overgrown and not fun, at all. I appreciate the city trying, but this seems like a major fail IMO. Don't waste your time, go to Santos instead.
| ThankThe skills section is in decent shape, but the trail could use some love, overgrown in a few places.
| ThankSmall like not even a 1/4 mile. Bridges are way too high. Wrecked twice
| ThankTrail is getting better as it gets more packed. They have added improvements to some of the corners to help with the flow.
| ThankLess than a mile of trail. Skills area says to be open summer 2015, but it looks like it's not been started.
| ThankPlenty of features packed into this area constricted trail. Can be ridden in either direction but I found it to have more flow counter clockwise. Very few rocks or roots, but of there are plenty of mogul type dips, a few swings in and out of a retention pond, plus one dirt covered tree trunk. This is the first of Ocala's urban mountain bike trails the city has planned. Additionally, there is a proposal to construct a skills park in the near future.
| ThankMarch 2016 edit: Skills park completed with two jump lines, a berm, a skinny and two logs to ride over.
