The Ozello Trail (CR-494 Gulf Marsh Run)
United States · CR-494
Universally acknowledged as Florida's most technical twisty motorcycle road, the Ozello Trail squeezes 68 banked curves into 9.2 miles as it snakes through pristine tidal salt marshes, sawgrass islands, and estuary bridges to the Gulf of Mexico. With water lapping against the asphalt on both sides and zero guardrails, it requires full rider focus. Tight 90-degree sweepers and double S-bends are interrupted only by narrow bridges. Watch for tidal wash on extreme high tides and loose shell gravel at private driveway turnouts.
