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.
Pole Bridge Road offers the stereotypical, "dirt road through a swamp" experience. Explorers can expect a variety of water and mud crossings on the trail. The trail intimidates drivers with two long water crossings at the trailhead, which means Pole Bridge Road is not traveled often. Pushing through swamp water will reward explorers with peace, quiet, and sights only the forest can provide. Plenty of wildlife from turtles, deer, quail, turkeys, and boars make Pole Bridge Road their home. Scenery changes from dense forest, to medium-sized clearings, to the black waters of Little Withlacoochee River.
