Written Directions

North of Hudson, Fl about 5 miles go left on Aripeka Road. Then as you head back east take Left on Shoals Line Blvd (County Road 507). Take this north up to the end at Cortez Blvd.

Scenery

Starts out driving through the Aripeka Sandhills area and winds through the grass flats along the Gulf and past the crystal clear Weeki Wachee Springs. Bring a suit if you want to cool off in summer and then have a bite to eat at The Upper Deck

Drive Enjoyment

Nice roads with speedlimits varying from 30 to 40 MPH and offering good visibilty of the local scenery and a couple small slow bridges.

Tourism Opportunities

I suggest a stop a Bayport inn for more food at the end of the route.

Not the longest ride but as I believe others have said, but the scenery is pure native Florida! For the adventure touring folks, you can start the route at FL52 to Old Dixie Highway which turns into a decent dirt road just south of Aripeka rd. Stop off for one and a bite at The Drunken Mullet in Hernando Beach, great little place and it's on the water!

This has to be one of my favorite rides so far. There are lots of twists and turns, with beautiful scenery. Traffic is light, and there are places to stop for food along the way.
