A Close Look at the Land and Its Natural Beauty

Citrus County is exceptionally hiker friendly. Those with the stamina and time to explore our wide range of terrain can hike through sandhill, scrub, hardwood hammock, swampland, prairie and marshland. In addition to unimproved paths, interpretive nature walks and hiking trails reveal unique ecosystems and the plants and creatures that inhabit them.

Many groups like the local chapter of the Nature Coast Volkssport Biking & Hiking Club have actively started organizing safe, comfortable hiking trips.

The Suncoast Chapter of the Florida Trail Association has a detailed list of trails in Central Florida. The Florida Trail Association's mission is to develop, maintain, promote, and protect a continuous public hiking trail the length of the State of Florida called the Florida National Scenic Trail and other side and loop trails, together called the Florida Trail System; and to educate the public by teaching appreciation for and conservation of the natural beauty of Florida; and to provide opportunities to hike and camp.
