Description
4771 EAST TRAIL16, INVERNESS FL. 34452 Mutual Mine Campground is located within Mutual Mine Recreation Area, in Withlacoochee State Forest (Citrus County), less than one half hour south of Inverness, FL. This campground is located next to a man made lake and has the following facilities: campsites with potable water, and centrally located restroom facility. Recreational activities featured here are: fishing, and hiking.
Geography:
The Withlacoochee River, Little Withlacoochee River, and Jumper Creek have all been designated as Outstanding Florida Waters, and each meanders through this forest which spans across 5 counties and exceeds 165,000 acres. Withlacoochee is a Native American word meaning "crooked river". This accurately describes the Withlacoochee River as it makes its 70-mile journey from the Green Swamp, in northern Polk County, to the Gulf of Mexico at Yankeetown. Complementing the natural water features are the open pine sand hills, dense woodlands, and canopied roads and trails. Tree species found on the forest include slash pine, longleaf pine, pond and bald cypress, maple, southern magnolia, hickory, and various species of oak. There is also an abundance of colorful wildflowers during the Autumn, including goldenrod, thistle, and blazing star. These natural features create excellent habitat for bald eagles, fox squirrels, gopher tortoise, white-tail deer, and turkeys, to name a few.
