Hiking
As a hiker, you'll enjoy a wide range
of choices. You can hike through sandhill, scrub, hardwood
hammock, hydric swamp, prairie and marsh. Many trails go
through several or all of these land types; all you need is
the time and the stamina to follow them.
Whether your trail is
short or long, wet or dry, improved or natural, you'll be able
to see nature's offerings in Citrus County. Most of Citrus
County offers some form of educational path, interpretative
nature walk, or hiking trail, each featuring its own unique
combination of ecosystems, flora and fauna.
You can combine hiking
with a number of other activities, such as bird watching,
camping or fishing. Hiking is also versatile in the amount of
time you are able to spend... a day, a weekend or longer,
depending upon your schedule.
