Inglis Island sits in the center of three bodies of water — the Withlacoochee River, the never completed Cross Florida Barge Canal and Lake Rousseau, with a dam at the southern end. This route was inspired by ************@***il.com” data-hovercard-owner-id=”154″>Aurélie Vilmer.

Run longest unpaved loop in Citrus County! The Seven Mile Loop Trail is the Preserve's signature route. A wide, flat, well-maintained trail through woods, marsh flats, and crossing three tidal creeks. There's also a 2.1 mile Eco-Trail.
Great opportunity for an off-road run on one the longest rail trails in Florida. 20+ miles passes through Citrus County. Nice combination of ranches/farms, woods, small towns, parks & preserves. Some good side options to add on.
Run beneath towering oaks on the quiet streets of Floral City. A very pretty canopy. Combine with the Withlacoochee State Trail, a paved multi-use path which heads for many miles north or south of Floral City.
Some of the best trail running options in the Citrus County area. Massive area, with several tracts, each with its own unique features and trail options. Citrus Tract, Holder Mine, Tillis Hill are the 'heart' of the forest.
