Rails to Trails of the Withlacoochee E-mail Rail to Trails Horseback Riding Mother Nature made Citrus County 'a natural' when it comes to equestrian activities. Whether you want a day's ride or a full equestrian camping trip, the facilities you need are here. Also, you may trailer your own horse or rent one when you arrive. Whatever your choices, the fun of riding through some of the most beautiful public lands in Citrus County is available to you. At Tillis Hill, in the Citrus tract of the Withlacoochee State Forest, there is a horse stable which accommodates 20 horses, as well as a 37-site camping area.
Trails are available for use at any time.
Equestrian camping is also allowed by permit. Potts Preserve has 12 miles of marked trails and even allows horse-drawn buggies by permit. Plans include interconnection with Fort Cooper State Park for stable and camping opportunities. Horseback riding is presently confined to designated bridle paths. Keep safe control of your animal, especially when encountering pedestrians or cyclists.
