The Withlacoochee State Trail is the longest (to date) paved rail trail in Florida. It occupies approximately 46 miles of an abandoned railroad right-of-way, passing through three counties (Citrus, Hernando and Pasco) en route from Citrus Springs in Citrus County to Trilby in Pasco County.The Withlacoochee Trail State Park starts just north of S.R. 50, a mile east of I-75 and continues through the Withlacoochee State Forest, runs close to the Withlacoochee River, past the Silver Lake Campground, then continues north through the Floral City, Inverness, Citrus Springs, and ends at Gulf Junction just south of Dunnellon.The rail bed traverses six distinct natural communities, and provides visitors access to the central Florida landscape in both developed and natural conditions. The most prominent natural feature within the Withlacoochee Trail corridor is the flood plane of the Withlacoochee River. The trail intersects this flood plane in several locations, allowing visitors to observe flood plane habitats and lakes. A unique natural vista occurs along the trail corridor, south of the Withlacoochee State Forest/Croom Tract. Other important natural features of the trail corridor include scenic Lake Henderson and the Tsala-Apopka chain of lakes. These productive water bodies attract many bird species that may be observed by trail users.Wildlife:Amphibians and reptiles: Alligator Snapping Turtle, American Alligator, Eastern Indigo Snake, Florida Pine Snake, Short-tailed Snake, and Florida Gopher FrogBirds: Brown Pelican, American Kestrel, Florida Sandhill Crane, Limpkin, Merlin, Tricolored Heron, and Wood Stork.Mammals: Bobcat, Florida Mouse, and Sherman's Fox Squirrel, Deer
