Confirmed from Widowmaker Trail Feature's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

What runners say about Widowmaker Trail Feature

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (12 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

It's fast and fun for about four seconds. I rode it a handful of times, then back to the trailhead, which is not far away.

★★★★☆ — Speed2Live , Dec 2023

Fun downhill wooden feature in line with the Spider south trail. Slight elevation at the end to provide lift. Feature will get slick when wet.

★★★★★ — Marty , Apr 2023

I love going to Ocala to bike, no better set of trails in Florida to send it!

★★★★★ — Christian , Jan 2018

The practical stuff

  • AccessOpen 24 hours — no gate to beat, so a 5am or a 10pm run both work
  • DistanceNot reported. Trail systems often quote total path mileage rather than a single loop, so measure the route you actually want before you drive out.
  • ShadeNot reported. Assume some of it is exposed and carry water in summer.
