Central West Florida Day Trips
Central West Florida day trips and one tank trips are generally off the beaten path.I-4 is the east-west interstate in this region. It crosses the state of Florida from
Daytona Beach
through
Orlando
to
Tampa.
I-75 is the the north-south interstate. It comes into Florida near Jasper and meanders down the center of the state until it starts veering west toward Tampa. It goes all the way to Miami. The Suncoast Parkway is a north-south toll road that starts in Tampa near the airport and terminates on US-98 north of Brooksville. The interstate exits are crowded with gas stations, fast food restaurants and motels. You can travel the state quickly and easily on these highways (except during rush hours), but not see as much scenery or real towns as on our recommended Central West Florida day trips. The town signs you do see are usually a few miles from the downtown section. The fun begins when you get off the interstate and hookup with the less traveled roads. There are many state and county highways off the interstate that offer better scenery and a look at real towns. In Florida, some backroads are even four-laned. Here are a few Central West Florida day trips that I recommend: - SR-476 from Bushnell west to Nobleton. Then north on SR-39 to Floral City, through Istachatta and Juneau. Peaceful country, parallels the rails to trails project, the Withlacoochee Trail.
- Sr-44 from Inverness to Crystal River through Lecanto. Pretty hills and lake views.
- SR-595 from SR-50 just east of Bayport south to Hudson, through Hernando Beach and Aripeka. Low country, fishing villages, marshes, houses on stilts.
- SR-595 aka Alternate US-19 from Holiday south to Clearwater through Tarpon Springs, Palm Harbor, Ozona and Dunedin.
