Withlacoochee State Trail
A 74 km paved greenway converted from a disused railway, running through forests, lakes and small towns. It is one of Florida's longest cycling trails.
The Withlacoochee State Trail follows an old railway bed for about 46 miles (74 km), running south from near Dunnellon through towns such as Inverness and Floral City. Along the way are forests, pastures and lakes. The trail is flat and fully paved, suitable for cycling, running and inline skating. The Inverness section is the most convenient, and the town has bike rental shops, so you can ride to a lakeside restaurant for lunch. It is free and open from sunrise to sunset. It is about 25 km from Crystal River (to Inverness). In summer, protect yourself from the sun and drink plenty of water.
