The area and getting around

One of Florida’s original fishing towns

Traces of “Old Florida” can still be seen throughout this area. You’ll find old boating docks, fish markets and warehouses dating back to the early 1900s, throughout. Homosassa and Citrus County are known for being one of the best places to fish in Florida thanks to its many scenic waterways providing both coastal and freshwater options to choose from. It’s also a great spot for anglers. Try scalloping in the summer. The county capital of Iverness isn’t far. Iverness’s Citrus County Courthouse Museum is a great place to learn more about the history of the area and take some nice shots. Visitors may also check out the historical Valerie Theater.

Waterfront dining is to be expected

“Old Homosassa” is known by locals for being an artsy community and a great place to have a seafood feast. Speaking of seafood, one great place to try out the catch of the day is at Freezer Tiki Bar. Housed in a classic vintage fish warehouse, you’ll still catch glimpses of fishermen carrying out their activities on the wharf the same way they have been for one hundred years! Wine lovers should stop by Strong Tower Vineyard in Spring Hill to sample their seasonal wine menu. Surprisingly, Florida has a thriving wine community and this is one of the hotspots. So, sip wines while relaxing on the veranda and grab a few bottles from the gift store on the way out.

Travelers and activities

Homosassa for outdoor enthusiasts

Homosassa is known for being a great place for outdoor activities like sport fishing, swimming, boating, hiking and biking. Withlacoochee State Trail is really popular with outdoorsy people. But don’t worry, you won’t see crowds here. This is considered the longest trail in the state and is perfect for long walks and bike rides. There are also plenty of great places to picnic under the shade of large trees. Golfers should check out Pine Ridge Community Golf Course. Nature Coast Botanical Gardens & Nursery appeals to visitors who love a quiet stroll in serene exotic gardens. There’s even an onsite nursery where you can take a plant home with you!

Homosassa for Animal lovers

Travelers with a soft spot for animals will likely have a memorable time in Citrus County. Next, head over to Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park for their underwater viewing platform to watch marine animals, especially manatees. This area is known to host as many as 400 wild manatees at the same time, particularly during the cold months. Some of the animals you might see include Florida panthers, flamingos, alligators, and black bears. Another great place to lots of wildlife is the less visited Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge, or “Chaz” for short. This marshy backcountry area is home to many animals and is good for a relaxing canoe ride.

This classic fishing community was once explored by Fernando de Soto in the 16th century.

5. Eat citrus!
