County of Citrus recently issued the following announcement.
On Thursday, March 24, 2022, at 10:30am, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) will host a grand opening event for the much-anticipated Withlacoochee-Dunnellon
Trail Connector. The event will be held at the new trail underpass, located on the west side of Highway 41 at County Road 39 (W Withlacoochee Trail) in Citrus Springs.
This project constructed a one-mile paved multi-use trail connecting the Withlacoochee State Trail to the Dunnellon Trail. The new trail includes a pedestrian crossing at US 41 near
CR 39 in Citrus County. Based on public input, the crossing at US 41 was built as an underpass rather than anoverpass. The underpass allows pedestrians and bicyclists to
continue safely on an uninterrupted route between the Withlacoochee State Trail and the Dunnellon Trail.
The Withlacoochee State Trail extends 46 miles from Citrus Springs to Dade City. It is a multi-use trail that spans Citrus, Hernando, and Pasco counties. The 2.5-mile Dunnellon
Trail features a dramatic bridge over the Withlacoochee River. The Dunnellon Trail is designed as a connector to join the Cross Florida Greenway and the Withlacoochee State
Trail. The Withlacoochee-Dunnellon Trail Connector provides the connectivity between these major trail systems.
