<strong>Guys...I saw the directions to the Florida Road but where exactly is that Ice Cream Trail? I looks like that's a milder trail and I think I'd like to run it in my stock Sportage. Would it have enough clearance for the Ice Cream Trail?

There are many trails that are no longer available, and some that are in danger of closure.

As for the "Stock" Sportage; your tires will give you the most problem, followed quickly by your clearance. You could really rip up your underbody on rocks. This is an "easier" trail than Old Florida Road, however photos never show the full story of the terrain. It is pretty steep in some areas, and it can be very wet. Also, the rocky outcroppings and boulders strewn all over the place makes for tricky going. It is not a place to go alone.

There are, however many other trails that you could complete, and some that you could do parts of. And with some better tires in a larger size, you could handle many of the tougher trails around here.

But never try and go out there alone. Not even if the trail "seems" easy at first. Many of these are very tricky, and become severe very suddenly. Like "Tunnel Road", right guys??
