Probably the one road that the state of FL got right. Enjoyable little ride that is over too soon. This road should be no problem for anyone with moderate riding experience. The only thing to really watch out for is sand in some of the turns.

Here's my ride on the trail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RmLZNqMpRs

The Ozello Trail is a great ride as long as your paying attention to the road. Many of the corners have a decreasing radius and will "bite" you if you let them. The "Island Outpost" welcomes bikers and is a great place to gas up and enjoy some of the best BBQ in town. It is about half way through the ride and marks the beginning of the tighter corners.

Beautiful ride and love the twists and turns. Had lunch at Peck's Old Cove. Good prices and good food. Must try the clam chowder, it is outstanding and defintely home made.Great views of the water from the restaurant. We will certianly make this trip many times more.

I have rode this route many times live in the area. We probably ride it at least 3 times a year. We have ate at Pecks many of time food has always been good and service pretty good. There is also a place in side the little convenient store that serves barbeque been told it is really good and a cool place for a quick bite.

Good twisty road, more appropriate for sport bikes than the tourer I was on. Nice scenery and not to long a trip off the main highways. Virtually no development along the way and you soon get a feel of tranquility you can only find in such natural settings. Stopped and had lunch at Peck's Cove. Prices were decent for seafood and I found the almond crusted grouper some of the best I have had in Florida. Made the trip from just west of Orlando ( Clermont ) on country back roads which made for a nice leisurely hour and fourty minute trip. Highly recommend the trail and Peck's Cove, keep on riding.

Lived in this area all my life, and still enjoy riding the Ozello Trail. Be sure to watch-out for wild hogs crossing early AM and late PM, the place is full of them. If you're out early on a Sunday, the Island Outpost (about halfway out) on the right has fuel, and the owner "John" serves up a mean breakfast. Sea-Ya!

I rode the trail in January, and ate at Pecks. The road, a two lane asphalt road was free of potholes. Hard dirt sholders. Enough twisties to enjoy. The food at Pecks was very reasonable. Beer available after 2PM. Also check out the park at the end of the road, past the resturant. The only downside is getting to the road...High speed highway - US19

I ride this road almost every day. Some times I will take the bike out just to ride the trail and then go home. I love it.

Rode this earlier today (Saturday)...the road itself scenery is very nice, but the ride was disappointing. Let's start with the fact that the entire trail is only 9mi long. It's over very quickly. Add all the trucks towing boats toward the boat launch at end of the trail, and suddenly you're doing 30mph most of the way, and passing here is quite dangerous and is legal only in a couple spots. Food at Peck's Port Cove was the best part of the day. Might be better if you get here super early in the morning, but not sure.

This is a treffic motorcycle road. I was convinced there wern't any twisty roads in Florida until we rode this one. We 're from Pennsylvania and vacation for two weeks in Florida in the winter. Didn't get a chance to eat at Pecks but it's on our schedule for next year.

I just rode this ride after your recommendation, taking 41 North from Tampa, and 98 towards crystal river and had a wonderful ride. Thanks for the suggestion! I had a great meal and really enjoyed route.

Rode this Nov 21 '09 and it's all the previous comments state. A great ride! If I had more time I would have run it again. Word of warning about a parking lot at the foot of the bridge in the first photo. Graveled with marbles and challenging to turn in with a loaded top-heavy bike!

This has to be one of the best motorcycle roads in Florida. My wife and I did our annual vacation in Florida again this winter so of course we had to go back and do this ride again. We did this ride last year but didn't get a chance to eat at Peck's. It's amazing how busy this restaurant is at 2:30 in the afternoon on a Wednesday. There was a 15 minute wait to get a table, but definitely worth it. Good food and a good ride.

We rode our VL 800 C50 to the trail after checking this site out. It was worth every mile, so much nature all around, it's one of best places in Central W. FL we rode so far. We took lots of pictures. From Orlando we took US 27 to SR 44 to US 19, the way back S. US 19 then SR 98 (Beautiful country road) to 50.

As far as twisties, this is the best I have see in Florida. Very good road. smooth sweeping turns at first. As you near the gulf the turns can get tighter. Bring a picnic lunch at the end there are shady areas with tables to enjoy the gulf and watch some boats.

Beautiful road, however be wary of the road quality. Not sure why it's rated so high, there and quite a few bumps, ridges, and ripples mid-turn. Which can be an issue if youre trying to pick up the pace. Just be careful, other than that the area is gorgeous and be sure to stop at Peck's old Port cove!

My husband and I rode this trail a few months back and we really enjoyed it. The scenery was awesome. We took U.S. 19 North and made a left onto Ozello Road. It was an easy, short, convenient, scenic ride.

We rode this May 16th. Very nice ! Loved the road ! Nice bunch of tight curves. Good and smooth. Not a lot o traffic for a Saturday.
Peck's at the end was okay, service not so much. Mind the parking lot, loose gravel, very slippery.

I rode up from Hudson on US19. It was a nice ride with some good twist and some good old Florida scenery.

I ride this road several times a year. Peck's out near the end of the road is a great place to eat. Then you get to retrace your route back out to US 19. I have seen a few bikes off in the marsh, so don't let this little road fool you!

Might be my favorite ride in Florida, I'd give it more than 5 Stars if it was longer.

As others said keep your head on a swivel...sand in some corners. I almost ran over a 2ft gator crossing the road about dusk. Fun road to ride tho. Tight corners to drag knee if you wanted to. Would love to ride that road cleaned and closed off to traffic.. That wld be a blast

Me and My Friends went out to Cutlers this weekend and had Great time. The Drive was a little long from Tampa but the open Roads getting there was a sweet ride (there were bear crossing signs...that was cool). We heard about the curves on the Ozello Trail and it lives up to its Rep. If you're a young rider like me, you just have to respect the roads but you will have a blast. I recommend to save your appetite for The Pecks restaurant it adds to the experiences and the food is great.

i live 1 mile from Ozello trail, ride it daily mostly at night, awesome road for Florida ( not flat and straight ) if your new to the road there are some thing to keep in mind. in the turns it is best to stay to the right side of the lane because people pulling boats tend to come into the opposing lane. and the wild life are plenty (deer, hogs, bobcat, just to name a few ). some curve do build up sand so be careful of your speed in them. great ride and the scenery is awesome. some areas you have canals on both sides. just be careful i have seen that road bite alot of riders

Nice twisties, well paved road surface and great scenery. The bar at the end: Peck's Old Port Cove is a tourist trap, not worth the stop. Better hit up Sleepy Hallow Fish Camp near Inverness.

Rode it twice. one time ate at Peck's. First time riding was able to run at a good pace. Second time was stuck behind slower traffic (bikes & cars).

Probably the only road in Florida that has decent curves. But like some others said it's over too soon. I ended up getting stuck behind a few cars going 15mph... ugh... Anyway, If you like a nice open way I suggest to pull over and let some distance between you and the people in front of you. We stopped into the perks cove restaurant and that had some pretty decent food and some nice beverages and great views. After leaving the restaurant we had a clear way through the curves heading back and it was fantastic. I wanted to turn around and do it again just so I can get my fix of some decent curves before heading back on straight and boring roads. Defontely worth the ride from the daytona area.

Ozello Trail is a great ride. Really casual and enjoyable. Little bridges, water, more water and 3 places to eat along the way. The only bad part? It's too darn short!

This was a nice ride for a beautiful Spring Saturday morning! I agree with the other reviewers with the decant of some of the corners. This is a typical county road on the Florida Gulf Coast, water intrusion and summer heat can leave some rough spots. On the day we rode this short gem there was a lot of boater traffic so watch out for slower traffic! Get out and ride this one it is well worth the trip!
