Description:
This 12-mile paved path joins two outstanding north central Florida state parks, Ichetucknee Springs and O'Leno. The greenway goes through the town of Fort White and includes a little rolling terrain. Between Fort White and Ichetucknee Springs, the path is flat and shaded in the afternoon by adjacent trees. Services are available in Fort White.

Camping is available at O'Leno State Park; swimming, tubing and snorkeling are available at Ichetucknee Springs. Both parks feature fine hiking trails, especially nice in the autumn, winter and spring when the weather is cooler. There is an entrance fee for both parks.

Ft. White to Oleno
By tlynch in November, 2010
Just rode from Ft. White to Oleno State Park this afternoon. The trail is in good condition, only 3 spots where there was glass on the trail. No pot holes at all and only one bad root growing under the trail. It has several rolling hills and is nice ride. Enjoyed the scenery on this part of the trail much more than the trip from Ft. White to Branford. The trail in Columbia county is much nicer than the Suwannee county side.
