For a dip into the primordial wilderness that envelopes the Withlacoochee River on its northward flow to the Gulf of Mexico, take a short jaunt to Nobleton (Hernando County) for a nature trail that showcases some of the biggest cypresses around. The trail is entirely in the shade of the floodplain forest - prone to flooding when the river is high - and loops around several sinkholes, including one with this massive cypress in it. It intersects with the orange-blazed Florida Trail in an upland pine forest, a separate 7-plus mile adventure.
