Low Water Trail and Tortoise Alley Hike (Croom D)

Join us on a beautiful hike along the Withlacoochee River!

Frolic among the water-marked cypress of Silver Lake and picture what this area looks like during the rainy season when the water jumps the banks and invades the quiet woods.

Also known as the Silver Lake loop, parts of this 6.67 mile hike are underwater for half of the year. Although almost all paths are dry, there are two very wet, unavoidable areas that may get your feet wet.

We will travel this loop counter-clockwise, hitting “Gopher Tortoise Alley” first, and will take a break at Silver Lake Campground before embarking on the scenic portions of the hike.

All participants must be able and motivated to complete the entire hike. We cannot allow anyone to turn around and try to find their way back to their car. Adequate water is a must; sunscreen, hat and bug spray are recommended.

Please note: your image must be visible on your Meetup profile photo to attend this event.

Consider joining us for lunch in Brooksville after the hike.
