Rural area filled with farmland
Fort McCoy is a predominantly rural area populated by homes and farmland. “It’s pretty much just large tracks of agricultural land around here. There are houses but most of the time you can’t see them from the road,” says Bonnie Aldrich, owner of Pine Haven Ranch. “The people that live here drive into the city to work and there aren’t a ton of businesses in the area. It’s just not a come-visit-us type of place.” Residents have easy access to Highway 301 and Highway 40 which can take them into Ocala just 19 miles south.
Lake Oklawaha provides a picturesque backdrop for a day of fishing in Fort McCoy.

If you want more than pizza, head to Ocala
There aren’t too many restaurants in Fort McCoy, but a few options include Rocco’s Pizza, a modest, classic Italian restaurant known for its hearty slices and Greek salads. Locals love the warm, home-like vibe created by the restaurant and its staff. Arlene’s Kitchen is another option that offers Mexican-American fare from tacos and wings to tostadas and burgers. Residents can pick up their groceries from the Fort McCoy Grocery or the Dollar General. “When people need something, they go to Gainesville or Ocala.
