County Road 41 In Zephyrhills, Route 41 breaks away as a County Road that was originally a state road. From this point to the intersection with Daughtery Road, it runs along the west side of a former
Seaboard Air Line Railroad line which was abandoned in the early-1970's. Between Zephyrhills and
Dade City, the road is known mainly as Fort King Road. At one point it runs on top of LeHeup Hill, which at is one of the highest points in Pasco County. After crossing
SR 52 (formerly
County Road 52 Alternate), it runs towards the back of Pasco High School. Within the Dade City Limits, it becomes South 17th Street. Concurrent with
CR 52 between South 17th Street and North 21st Street, and then immediately with
County Road 578 between Saint Joe Road and Lock Street. Northwest of Dade City CR 41 becomes Blanton Road, where it winds up, down, and around more hills. It serves as the terminus of both ends of
County Road 41 Alternate one end of which also includes the terminus of
County Road 575. At the interchange with
Interstate 75 at Exit 293 (formerly Exit 60) it becomes a two-lane divided highway, but only in the vicinity of the ramps. In between, it narrows back down to a two-lane bridge over I-75 itself. CR 41 curves back north again near an orange grove at the intersection of
County Road 577 (Lake Iola Road), where it enters Hernando County.
County Road 541 . North of the Hernando County Line, County Road 41 becomes County Road 541 as
Spring Lake Highway. Once a former segment of State Road 41 and later County Road 41, it continues to move up and down the hills of eastern Hernando County, through orange groves, former orange groves, and hay farms. The road serves as the eastern terminus of
CR 576 (Hayman Road, formerly CR 420) and
CR 572 (Powell Road) in
Spring Lake. North of CR 572, one major orange grove remains intact. It ends at
US 98/
