The Withlacoochee State Forest has numerous outdoor recreational opportunities available for everyone. Among the recreational amenities that make this state forest so popular are the off-road trails in the Hernando County portion of the Croom Tract of the Withlacoochee State Forest. The off-road bicycle trails in this area are dry-to-damp, all weather trails that wind through central Florida’s longleaf pine and scrub oak hills, live oak thickets and hardwood hammocks, past creek bottoms and cypress ponds. Of particular interest are the area’s ravines, prairies and abandoned rock mines. Wildlife found in the area include deer, quail, grey squirrels and bobcats. The Florida Division of Forestry established these trails in cooperation with the SouthWest Association of Mountainbike Pedalers (SWAMP).
