The Rivers of Citrus County, Florida
Our Rivers Are Made to Order for Floating, Canoeing or Kayaking
Seven major rivers flow through Citrus County, including Crystal River, Homosassa River, Hall's River, Chassahowitzka River, Withlacoochee River and Salt River. Of these, the Withlacoochee is definitely the favorite of boaters, especially those in canoes and kayaks.
The Withlacoochee traverses several counties and is navigable for approximately 72 miles, making for one of the country’s most pleasant river excursions as it winds through wild country past interesting geological formations and countless wild creatures.
Several other rivers are situated along the winding Gulf of Mexico shore and take the traveler through brackish water that hosts large communities of manatees—those very large, gentle marine mammals that can be spotted all year and are especially numerous in the cooler months when they seek out the stable comfort of spring-fed rivers.
