Nestled amongst live oaks, pristine springs, and the Gulf of Mexico sits Citrus County in the heart of Florida. Citrus County, most famous for being home to the endangered West Indian Manatee, offers a wide array of activities for the nature lover. Situated 90 miles west of Orlando and 75 miles north of Tampa, Citrus County provides a wonderful retreat for those seeking a relaxing weekend enjoying the water or those searching for adventure in Mother Nature’s playground.
Made up of several communities, Citrus County has it all. Hiking, biking, and kayaking for the outdoor enthusiast. Come meet a manatee or catch a glimpse of any multitude of the species of birds who also call Citrus County home. Bring your watercraft or charter a boat from any of the knowledgeable captains and spend time on our extensive waterway system fishing or scalloping (seasonally). For the history buff, Citrus County offers many historical places and quaint downtowns brimming with heritage. Local restaurateurs serve up food with flair at eateries scattered across the county. Annual traditions such as the Florida Manatee Festival and the Floral City Strawberry Festival allow thousands of visitors each year to catch a glimpse into the real Florida and the culture of Citrus County.
