Withlacoochee State Forest - Citrus Trac

The hike traveled alont the western edge of the Withlacoochee State Forest (Citrus Tract) in Citrus County. The weather was cool in the morning, but after about two miles the temperature went up and the clothes started to be shed.

The hike was high and dry and traveled through upland pine, Florida scrub and oak groves.We say three caves and only one other solitary hiker. The weather was great, as the temperrature stayed in the low 70's for the day

The hike will be about a 15 mile hike in the Withlacoochee State Forest (Citrus Tract - west of Inverness)..

It is a well defined trail that should be "high and dry". There trail is relatively flat with no elevation gain. I have a nice map of the WSF trails.

The hike will require a shuttle from Holder Mine Campround (on east side of WSF) to Taylor Camp (on the south side of the WSF). We will hike from the trailhead parking near Talyor Camp, north, to Holder Mine Campground. 

There may be a small parking fee at Holder Mine Campground (bring $1 bills).
