Trail Overview
Trail 18a takes you from Trail 16 at the east end to Trail 15 at the west end of the trail in the southern part of the Citrus Wildlife Management Area. The road conditions are a mixture of packed sand, loose sand, and some deep holes that can turn into 2-foot deep mud holes after rainy days. The road is not always wide enough for two vehicles to pass. 4WD and high clearance are recommended. All vehicles must be street legal. ATVs are prohibited. Citrus Wildlife Management Area includes nearly 50,000 acres in Citrus and Hernando counties, just west of Inverness. This natural area is one of seven large tracts that make up the Withlacoochee State Forest. A daily-use or recreational permit is required to enter the State Forest.
Difficulty
This trail features narrow sections with some minor rutting, but is an otherwise easy, non-technical trail unless after heavy rain.
