Hiking and cycling are becoming increasingly popular in Dunnellon, a part of the community’s long terms plans for many years. Once a dream, and now reality, the Blue Run Park of Dunnellon connects to the Withlacoochee State Trail by way of a tunnel beneath US HWY 41, just outside of Dunnellon in Citrus Springs. This 46-mile State Trail is great for leisure hikes, cycling, running and long-distance sports cycling.

The City of Dunnellon is planning to add bike lanes along E. Pennsylvania Ave., where the trail ends. Special consideration is given to cyclist safety on that road, with drivers maintaining 35 mph or slower, so pleasure cyclists can enjoy our downtown.
