Proceeds Benefit Friends of the Withlacoochee State Trail
 
Friends of the Withlacoochee State Trail are a Citizen Support Organization (CSO) dedicated to promoting, supporting and helping to maintain and make improvements for the Withlacoochee State Trail.  They accomplish these things by providing public education and outreach programs, holding fundraising events, sale of merchandise and by donating their time and talents to make sure that visitors to the Withlacoochee State Trail have a great experience.  Meeting dates are the second Thursday of February, April, September and November.
 
The Withlacoochee State Trail is a 47-mile long, 12-foot wide, paved multi-use rail trail, which opened for use in 1992. The trail is currently one of the longest Rail Trail in the State of Florida.  Horseback riding is available adjacent to the paved trail. The trail extends from just south of Dunnellon, FL at the Hwy. 41 underpass to its southern end at Owensboro Junction Trailhead, which is 6 miles north of Dade City, FL on Hwy. 301. The Withlacoochee State Trail meanders through small towns and through the beautiful Withlacoochee State Forest. 
Friends of the Withlacoochee State Trail are solely funded through support from membership fees, merchandise sales, registration fees and sponsorships collected during events, and the generous donations received from trail users and supporters. Donation types include “In Memory Of”, “In Honor Of”, and “For the Good of the Trail”.  100% of all donated monies collected go towards the maintenance and enhancements for the Trail.  We appreciate and value the donors, members and supporters of the volunteer group.  If you are interested in making a donation, please click the button below.
