Directions and considerations:
Inverness is about 65 miles from Gainesville.
Once in Inverness, look for the court house. Take the one way street around the court house to N. Apopka Ave. and go north on it. You will run in to the trail about half a mile north of the court house. The trail headquarters parking lot will be on the left before crossing the bike trail.
