We then drove to our nearby campsite at Silver Lake, Cypress Glen- site 47. We love the site since it is right on the lake and has access to the Withlacoochee River & the 46 mile long paved state bike trail. New this year they put in a new 10 mile long paved trail to Brooksville. So this gives us lots of opportunities to Paddle, Bike and hike. Now if it would only get warmer. This has been a cool Fall so far in Florida.
Here is a map of the Trails & River.
We spent Monday morning fixing our awning by installing the gas strut that had failed. We had Phoenix RV ship it to Paul & Helen’s home. We then had a rest day.
Tuesday was cool but sunny so we decided to try the new Good Neighbor Trail that just opened 3 weeks ago. It is a ten foot wide paved trail in the middle of the state forest. We saw a Deer and a Gopher Turtle. We turned around before Brooksville making our round trip ride 19 miles long.
Tuesday afternoon we took our canoe for an easy 4-1/2 mile paddle upstream and back to the Crooked River Camp beach. Lots of turtles, heron, anhinga and a few deer.
