Getting Around Garden Grove
The most important road in Garden Grove is U.S. 41. This road runs from the southwest to the northeast. It connects Garden Grove to Masaryktown and goes all the way to Brooksville, which is the main city in Hernando County.
Next to U.S. 41, there's a CSX train track called the Brooksville Subdivision. This track even has a special branch that goes to the airport. This branch was improved when U.S. 41 was made wider.

- County Road 574 (also called Spring Hill Drive) runs along the northern edge of the Hernando County Airport and ends at U.S. 41.
- County Road 572 (also called Powell Road) runs along the northern part of Garden Grove. It stretches from near Weeki Wachee to Spring Lake.
