Local biking Trails
Park-to-Park Bike Path
Paved path (multi-use) approximately 10 miles long from South Levy Ball Fields/Buddy Rischer Park to the Withlacoochee Gulf Preserve. This path winds through both Inglis and Yankeetown and offers a bench in front of Yankeetown School and picnic tables in the preserve. A small public park sits behind Inglis Town Hall (across the street from the Sundown Republic mainland site). It has shaded picnic areas, playground equipment, outdoor grills and a bike rack.
Withlacoochee Gulf Preserve
From the parking lot at the education center (center closed, parking open) bike down the unpaved Old Hammock Trail (.5 miles) to the 30 foot observation tower for fantastic views of the preserve, tidal creeks and surrounding marshland areas.
Follow the unpaved path past the observation tower to the Western-most viewpoint, short loops and fishing pier. Several picnic tables are available between the observation tower and Western viewpoint. Restroom facilities are available at the fishing pier.
*Be aware of the tides. During very high tides (king tides) parts of the unpaved trails to the observation tower, fishing pier, marshland areas and Western viewpoint may be wet and/or underwater.
Felburn Park
Felburn Park sits on the south shore of the Cross Florida Barge Canal. It has paved and unpaved parking areas, paved hiking/biking trails, potable water, and picnic pavilions.
A paved, multi-use trail approximately 6 miles long starts at the parking area and runs west to the Gulf. It is part of the Withlacoochee Bay Trail and the Cross-Florida Greenway. Hike along the barge canal and stop at any of the many canal and marshland overlooks. The pavilion at the end of the trail faces west to the Gulf.
Several more miles of paved and unpaved multi-use trails stretch east of the parking area and along the barge canal.
