 Green Swamp WestGreen Swamp West
7 miles linear

The Green Swamp is well known as an important source of Central Florida's water. The Withlacoochee and Ocklawaha Rivers flow north from this mosaic of pine, prairie, and cypress domes, while the Hillsborough and Peace Rivers flow south. All get their start here in the midst of a swamp that isn't as swampy as you'd think.

This linear section of trail, is, in fact, generally dry. It crosses prairies and sandhills and meanders beneath tall pines. With two cars, it's a comfortable day hike between trailheads.
