HIKING: Pull TreeTram

← FL CHASSAHOWITZKA RIVER MOUTH NEAR CHASSAHOWITZKA FL Triple Blaze →

Description

Walk down this shady path, an abandoned logging roadway that fingers deep into the swamp. This was one of the many spurs or trams that were built to retrieve the felled cypress trees. Here you'll gain a strong sense of the lost world of the ancient cypress. Huge stumps will give you a sense of the circumference of the mighty trees that once dominated the forest. About 10 minutes down the trail you'll notice an enormous fallen cypress trunk on the right, filled now like a planter with a variety of ferns and palmetto.

Directions

From Homosassa head south on US19 to the sign for Chassahowitzka WMA & turn Right. From Weeki Wachee head north on US19 until you see the sign for Chassahowitzka WMA & turn Left. Stay start past the check station & go until you see a marker with a number 7 on it & pask of the road.
