Richloam - New River Road

Richloam Wildlife Management Area spans 58,000 acres, crossing into Hernando, Pasco, Sumter, and Lake counties. Richloam is located in a swamp and is full of outdoor activities such as hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, and horseback riding! Swamps offer wildlife plenty of food and water for wildlife so visitors can expect to see various animals from deer, hogs, gators, birds, and plenty of insects. New River Road is located in northwest Richloam Wildlife Management Area. The trail takes explorers through dense forest, down a compact dirt trail with a few mudholes and shallow water crossings. Driving vehicles with 4WD is highly recommended to prevent flinging mud and tearing up the trail. New River Road is a trail less traveled and will surround visitors with sounds of nature. The scenery is full of bright green vegetation and visitors can expect wildlife to bolt across the road at times.
