Crack of Dawn Withlacoochee State Forest Ridge Manor Trailhead +/-7 miles
Ridge Manor Trailhead, 6410 Croom Rital Rd, Brooksville, FL, USWithlacoochee State Forest is a wonderful place to be early in the morning! Let's start early from the Ridge Manor trailhead and give this trail a little LOVE! Note, I am not able to do prehikes so please be prepared for anything.
We will utilize the orange (river) and blue trails and enjoy a lovely combo of open sky and forest canopy, and pine needle/dirt and sugar sand trails that loosely follow the curves of the withlacoochee river. There's lots to see including the river, cliffs, cypress domes, oak hammocks, pine nurseries, wildlife, and hopefully a few colorful winter flowers.
Because of the season, this might be a bit of a wet or muddy hike and also there might be lots of sun. But if it happens to rain, I will still see you there anyway. We will hike at a moderate pace and take a 20 minute break for a snack. To do this hike, you must also have experience with hiking 7 miles in the heat.
On the day of the hike, please meet me before 730am at the pavilion next to the bathroom and the parking lot. We will leave promptly at 740am. Because of the early start time, please don't count on the trailhead bathrooms being open or water being available.
You will need at least 3 liters of water, snacks, bug spray, sunscreen, a hat, hikers, and anything else you deem necessary for your comfort. There are very few benches so you may want to bring a ground cloth to sit on during the snack break.
My number on the day of the hike is 813-713-2492.
For information about the hike, visit https://floridahikes.com/florida-trail-croom-river-trail/.
I am asking that everyone signs up (no guests) so everyone can agree to the waiver and agree to the following conditions:

This is one of my favorite hiking trails. We checked it out last week and did the whole 7-mile loop.
It has changed a little and some parts of the trails still need some work. So, we might need to hike arounds some of the area and most of the bridges.This will be a 7-mile hike loop at a relaxed pass but moving to beat the afternoon heat.
