Withlacoochee State Forest

It was smaller than I thought it was going to be but it was well maintained and nice. A park with swingsets and a small playground too.

I just the the beautiful outdoors enjoyment. From the nature trails bike riding trails an 4x4 trail riding to also horse back riding.
The lakes the birds the trees the flowers the views are breath taking from Croom to Sumter to Bushnell to richloam to citrus Hernando two mile perry Croom motorcycle Area an all the day use areas.

The Withlacoochee Red Trail Loop is one of the most scenic trails around Tampa Bay that I have walked. It was cool weather so I didn't see much wildlife. I found the scenery was very nice, especially around the river. An added bonus is the tower along the path. I can see why the previous commenters were confused by the All Trails map. I found that I had to follow the orange blazes for 3/4 of the loop, then switched to follow the blue blazes. This is the only way I could stay on the All Trails path.

This state forest offers an abundance of destinations to enjoy nature. Cooler temperatures in October and November make those months my favorite time to hike and explore the forest. Photos and video accompanying this review were taken near the intersection of Stage Coach Trail and Citrus Way.
