Our Stewardship
& Social Spirit
We are the Friends of the Withlacoochee State Trail, the official Citizens Support Organization (CSO) of the Florida State Parks. As dedicated stewards, we work to fund and facilitate the infrastructure that makes our trail a world-class destination. From maintaining pristine rest areas and pavilions to ensuring the historic tree canopy remains thick and shielding, we manage the essential enhancements that fall outside the state park budget.
More than just a maintenance crew, we are a family of like-minded outdoor enthusiasts. Whether you are cycling the longest paved rail trail in Florida, hiking its scenic vistas, or running for fitness, you are part of our community. We are a social group that thrives on the shared joy of nature, fostering a culture of volunteerism where everyone works together for the lasting good of the trail we all share.
Support the Trail
We are a family of like-minded people dedicated to the beauty and stewardship of the Withlacoochee State Trail. Your involvement ensures this evergreen history remains shaded, paved, and preserved for generations to come.
