Welcome to Withlacoochee State Trail! This 46 mile long trail is a diverse journey through Florida's west coast. It also stands as the longest paved rail-trail in the state. Originally part of the Plant System's West Coast Route rail line in the late 1800s, Withlacoochee became a state trail in 1989. In fact, it was one of the first land purchases under Florida's "Florida Rails to Trails" program. This expansive stretch of land runs through three counties, various small towns, and a variety of wildlife habitats. There are also sections of the trail that have an accompanying unpaved equestrian trail for horseback riding. 

There is much to learn about this site and the history of what remains. Just before the Civil War, people had great success with this mill, but as the Civil War approached and was happening there was a huge naval blockade that made the mill close.

These are some of the oldest ruins here in Florida, so check them out in a small town named Homosassa. As you drive to this location, you can easily see the park from the road. This park was owned by David Levy Yulee, a former member of the territorial legislative council. This mill was steam-driven for the southern troops in the civil war to create sugar products. There is a lot to do in this park, not only the historic stuff, but also an exhibit. While having a fun time, do not forget to bring a meal to have a picnic with the people you love to end the day right.
