CITRUS COUNTY ECO-HERITAGE GUIDES
Explore the Outdoors on Your Own, Take a Tour or Hire a Guide
The first visitors to Citrus County came here to experience Florida’s natural beauty. They cruised the rivers and lakes, noted the unique vegetation and wildlife, and admired the birds and marine creatures. Those experiences are still available here.
Our heritage attractions provide brochures and signs, along with docents to explain the property. Our wilderness areas have kiosks with information and wildlife officers to answer questions.
Our most unique offering is our large population of manatees. These large marine mammals gather in the rivers and inshore waters where they can be watched from land or encountered in their own element by scuba and snorkel divers. But manatees must be approached with great caution, and it is wise to engage a guide who can explain safety rules that keep humans and manatees from harming one another.
Boaters beware: Manatee protection rules are clearly posted and strictly enforced.
