Exploring Brooksville
Founded in the 1840s, Brooksville has a hilly historic downtown district with numerous antique shops. The west side of town is bisected by the Suncoast Trail, a 42-mile paved bike trail that starts in Tampa and parallels the Suncoast Parkway.
With development of the Coast to Coast Trail underway in this region, cyclists can also find their way into town via the Withlacoochee State Trail and the Good Neighbor Trail. Eventually, the two will connect and make Brooksville a major hub along the state-spanning bicycle path.
