The Withlacoochee State Trail is the longest paved trail in Florida and listed in National Geographic's Traveler Magazine as one of the top 20 trails in the United States. The World Wildlife Fund says our trail is "One of the coolest places you've EVER seen".
The ride begins at THE TRAIN STATION restaurant/amusement facility with additional SAG stops at around the Ridge Manor, Istachatta, and Citrus Springs areas. This paved Withlacoochee State Trail winds through Pasco, Hernando and Citrus Counties in West Central Florida. The Trail Head is 2/10 mile north of the Old Historic Courthouse in downtown Inverness.
Proceeds to benefit the Rotary Club of Downtown Inverness.
