US 41 access to Withlacoochee River
On the north side of US 41, there’s good access from Val Del Road to the Withlacoochee River.
From US 41 (North Valdosta Road), turn north on Val Del Road,
and your next right is a turnoff to a gravelled road that bends sharply right into the woods, which leads back to the north side of US 41 and down to the Withlacoochee River.
It was a bit muddy in the rain this morning, but there were no big potholes,
and the river slope is easy access.
The river was high, 9.8 feet, but still well below the 15 foot flood level
on the
US 41 Gage on this bridge.
