Mountain Biking Withlacoochee State Forest: Croom Section

****   Add a review
#33 of 289 mountain bike trails in Florida
#1,180 in the world

This trail is approximately 14 miles of unadulterated fun! Withalacoochee is a wonderful place for all levels of riders. This 14 mile loop is marked, but it is necessary to keep an eye out for trial markers due to many other unmarked trails in the area. This trail mainly consists of rolling single-track through widely spaced trees and brush. Hunting is allowed in the area during certain seasons.
