This year we honor the Centenary of our Caboose

Thanks to our generous sponsors, ride participants, donors, members, and volunteers we have secured financing to start the restoration of our 100 year old Magor all wood cupola caboose.

​

Our goal is to continue fundraising throughout 2026 to restore the interior back to the original (as possible) material and style of construction as near as we can to the day it rolled onto the tracks.​​​​

Friends of the Withlacoochee State Trail are a Citizen Support Organization (CSO) dedicated to promoting, supporting and helping to maintain and make improvements for the Withlacoochee State Trail.  They accomplish these things by providing public education and outreach programs, holding fundraising events, sale of merchandise and by donating their time and talents to make sure that visitors to the Withlacoochee State Trail have a great experience.  Meeting dates are the second Thursday of February, April, September and November. The Withlacoochee State Trail is a 47-mile long, 12-foot wide, paved multi-use rail trail, which opened for use in 1992. The trail is currently one of the longest Rail Trail in the State of Florida.  Horseback riding is available adjacent to the paved trail. The trail extends from just south of Dunnellon, FL at the Hwy. 41 underpass to its southern end at Owensboro Junction Trailhead, which is 6 miles north of Dade City, FL on Hwy. 301. The Withlacoochee State Trail meanders through small towns and through the beautiful Withlacoochee State Forest.
