Hiking
The Croom River Trail, part of the Florida National Scenic Trail, offers a dry-to-damp hiking experience. You’ll traverse longleaf pine and scrub oak hills, cypress swamps, and follow the Withlacoochee River. Be aware that sections of the trail may flood and occasionally close; check with the Visitor Center for updates. Hikers can enjoy sightings of a wood stork rookery, Cracker cattle, and ponies. Additionally, deer, wild turkey, squirrels, bobcats, songbirds, and waterfowl are commonly spotted along the trail.
