Itinerary description
Croom Tract in Withlacoochee State Forest - Hike to Old Mine
I hiked onto The Florida Trail and headed to an area where they used to mine in the late 1800's - early 1900's. After I reach the large pits I turned back but you can continue on hiking the Florida Trail from here to make it a longer hike. I plan on returning to see what else I can find in the area. The wilderness is really beautiful in this area. http://www.freshfromflorida.com/Divisions-Offices/Florida-Forest-Service/Our-Forests/State-Forests/Withlacoochee-State-Forest/The-Croom-Tract-at-Withlacoochee-State-Forest
