The Withlacoochee is very nice, wide and paved, pretty flat. Lots of trees. I started at one of the county parks just south of Dunellon, and also at Inverness on another day. Inverness has the most to do for towns along the trail. There is a bike shop there where you can rent three wheeled recumbents, which I did one day for fun. Have lunch at Dillon's Cinnamon Sticks Restaurant in Inverness, about a half block off the trail. I think it is by Eden Drive on hwy 41 but you'll have to look it up to be sure. Have dinner at Stumpknockers in Dunellon over on hwy 200. I think there is another bike shop in Floral City that rents a different brand of recumbent trikes. I was in Ocala for a week and rode the trail several days.

If you have that much time, you may also want to try the Suncoast trail. The north end of the Suncoast starts where US 98 meets the Suncoast Parkway (toll road - Florida 589). I think it's about an hour drive south from Dunellon, but I'll leave it to you to plan a route - I've only done it once, and I was not driving. The north end has some nice hills, the trail runs 42 miles down to almost Tampa. Have a great trip.

Highly recommend both trails...though personally , I enjoy the Withlachoochee a bit more.

My parents spend their winters in Brooksville which is right between the two trails.

Wonderful riding.

As noted, both trails are paved (unlike the KATY).

Enjoy... (I'm a little bit jealous.)

Agree about the Withlacootchee. There is more to do off the trail, without having to travel very far. Suncoast is more for people who like to ride without stopping, or try the hills, or the wilderness area - Starkey Wilderness park.

My wife and I had a great time riding the Withlacoochie trail earlier in the year. If you enjoy restaurants with loads of local color, try River Ratz Pub and cafe in Nobleton ... http://www.nobletonoutpost.com/river-ratz-cafe.html

At what mile marker does the Good Neighbor trail intersect with the Withlacoochee trail?
Your help is appreciated!
