Our lakes are made for fun.
There are six lakes in Citrus County large enough to be named and associated with boat launch ramps, fish camps and other amenities.
The lakes are:
- Big Lake Henderson
- Little Lake Henderson
- Lake Holathlikaha
- Lake Rousseau
- Tsala Apopka Lake Chain
- Lake Hernando
Of all the lakes, the Tsala Apopka Lake Chain near Inverness is the largest. This is the lake that once yielded the biggest largemouth bass caught in Florida! Names that sound strange to a visitor usually have their origin in Native American place names. Citrus County was a prehistoric seasonal gathering place where many tribes met in peace to exchange goods and enjoy the area just as our tourists do today.
