Good Neighbor Trailhead - Brooksville, Florida - Hiking and walking trailheads on Waymarking.com

An important link in the Florida Coast to Coast Trail, the Good Neighbor Trail stretches 10.1 miles from downtown Brooksville to the Withlacoochee State Trail. This trail is excellent for hiking, biking, jogging, walking and nature watching.

"Following a former narrow gauge railroad corridor, the Good Neighbor Trail is a 10.1-mile linear paved bike path.

It spans from the former main line at Croom, which is now the Withlacoochee State Trail, to a depot in Brooksville dating back to 1885.

The corridor dates back to the heyday of lumberjacks felling the “yellow pine,” as long-lived longleaf pines were known, and sending them off to sawmills.

Narrow gauge trains facilitated the process, in this case the Southern Railroad.

It was later taken over by the Atlantic Coast Line and rails widened to accommodate standard gauge trains.

Now, the Good Neighbor Trail provides a crucial connector in the Coast to Coast Trail across Central Florida." (copied from FloridaHikes.com (visit link)
