Citrus County from the Citrus County Commissioners Website.
Welcome to Citrus County.
If you’ve ever wanted to swim with a manatee, relax in front of a gorgeous sunset, or reel in the “big one” on one of our scenic rivers… then you’ve come to the right place!

Citrus County was created in 1887 and was formerly part of Hernando County.
It was named for the county’s citrus trees. The rich historical culture and variety of shops, water recreation, golfing, and dining experiences, make Citrus County one of the most enjoyable places on the west coast.

From Wikipedia
Citrus County is a county located in the U.S. state of Florida.
As of the 2010 census, the population was 141,236.[1]
Its county seat is Inverness,[2] and its largest community is Homosassa Springs.
Citrus County comprises the Homosassa Springs, FL Metropolitan Statistical Area.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 773 square miles (2,000 km2),
of which 582 square miles (1,510 km2) is land and 192 square miles (500 km2) (24.8%) is water.[9]

There are a number of uninhabited and/or sparsely inhabited coastal islands that can be accessed via watercraft.[10] While some of the Citrus County islands are state lands thus available for public use for recreational opportunities, many other Citrus County islands are private property and are either wholly or partially owned by private parties.[11]

According to the US Fish and Wildlife Services’ aerial manatee surveys, as many as 400 of these unique creatures can be found in Citrus County at one time. This typically occurs only during the coldest months of the year.

Manatees can also be viewed in the underwater observatory at Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park. Most of the park’s residents are injured animals either undergoing rehabilitation for future release to the wild, or will be permanent due to their inability to be released to the wild.[12] The notable exception is Lucifer, an African hippopotamus that had prior movie roles. When a permanent home could not be found for Lucifer, then-Governor Lawton Chiles named him an “honorary citizen of the state”,thus allowing him to remain at the Park.[13]

Crystal River is a city in Citrus County, Florida, United States. The population was 3,108 in the 2010 census.[5] (3,485 in 2000). According to the U.S Census estimates of 2012, the city had a population of 3,055.[6] The city was incorporated in 1903 and is the self professed “Home of the Manatee”.[7] Crystal River Preserve State Park is located nearby, and Crystal River Archaeological State Park is located in the city’s northwest side.

Crystal River is at the heart of the Nature Coast of Florida. The city is situated around Kings Bay, which is spring-fed and so keeps a constant 72 °F (22 °C) temperature year round. A cluster of 50 springs designated as a first-magnitude system feeds Kings Bay. A first-magnitude system discharges 100 cubic feet or more of water per second, which equals about 64 million gallons of water per day. Because of this discharge amount, the Crystal River Springs group is the second largest springs group in Florida, the first being Wakulla Springs in Wakulla County near Tallahassee. Kings Bay can be home to over 400 manatees during the winter when the water temperature in the Gulf of Mexico cools, and is the only place in the United States where people can legally interact with them in their natural conditions without that interaction being viewed as harassment by law enforcement agencies.[citation needed][8] Tourism based on watching and swimming with manatee is the fastest growing contribution to the local economy. In 2005 there was a movement to dissolve the city which did not succeed, and the city has since grown by annexation.

The Withlacoochee State Trail crosses an old railroad bridge over part of Henderson Lake.
The Withlacoochee State Trail, which replaced a former Atlantic Coast Line Railroad line, runs between two of the chained lakes, with small bridges replacing former railroad trestle crossings. The trail offers access to 46 continuous miles of enjoyment for biking, jogging and walking. It is the longest paved recreation trail in Florida.[10] The Inverness trailhead can be found on North Apopka Avenue (CR 470) across from the trail crossing and Liberty Park.
