It’s there. Now that’s Marsh Bend Trail is open , go down there. Follow the road left (470) , it will be there on your right. You just have to drive a bit.

At one time there was a proposed interchange on Warm Springs/CR 468. https://www.sumtercountyfl.gov/Agend...e_948_1040.pdf

In 2017 The Villages developer put the kibosh on the interchange at 468/Warm Springs. Bradley Arnold said 'It was unnecessary...'
