4.0Richloam Fire Tower Trailhead(4 reviews) - Hiking Richloam South Saturday: 7:00 AM - 7:00 PM Spent More than 3 hours Nature & Wildlife Areas • Hiking Trails • Forests
This is by far THE BEST trailhead I've ever experienced. There are no restrooms, no picnic tables, no amenities except one spigot with potable water. There is, however, a fire tower! Not just a fire tower.. One that you can actually climb! At your own risk, of course, but unlocked, sturdy, and all the way to the cabin on top. Spectacular views in every direction. Happy! Happy! Happy! This is also the trailhead to several different loop trails. I chose to hike Richloam South with my puppy Buc on a beautiful winter morning. This loop is 12.5 miles and traverses some pretty amazing Florida terrain. Lots of wildlife, mostly birds. It's still hunting season and everything furry is hiding. Wonderful day hiking in the Withlacoochee State Forest and all for FREE. Highly recommended!See more..
