When you find a good trail in Florida, hold on tight. While there are plenty of hiking trails throughout the Sunshine State, hiking isn’t necessarily what this state is known for. Which is why when you find a trail—one that you can hike, bike, explore, or just walk and be immersed in nature—make sure you enjoy it to its fullest. This particular trail in Florida might just be as good as it gets.
With over 40 miles of long paved, multi-use trail, the Withlachoochee State Trail is a one-of-a-kind adventure that will be the perfect plan for your weekend.
With the popularity of this trail, plus it’s length through various towns, there are plenty of trailheads to choose from depending on where you want to enter.
You’ll never be too far from food or drinks either, if you want to stop off along your journey and have some lunch or a beer and then keep on trekking.
During the trek you’ll come across different parks, colorful murals, and little slices of history that are likely paired with an information kiosk in order to learn a bit more about the area.
For the majority of the rail trail you’ll be parallel to the Withlachoochee River, which means waterside activities and river views are also part of the adventure.
