Welcome to Homosassa Florida and Homosassa Springs Florida in Citrus County. Located at the southern tip of Citrus County Florida, Homosassa is conveniently located close to the Suncoast Parkway making the trip to Tampa a short hop and a skip (about an hour).

Homosassa Florida has a rich and colorful history from native American Indians that fished and lived here thousands of years ago to the Civil war ruins. "Old Homosassa" as it is called is located out Halls River Road and can take you back to glimpse a civil war era sugarmill.

David Yulee built the Yulee Sugar Mill to supply sugar and molasses to the Confederate soldiers during the Civil War. A forty-foot limestone chimney, cane press and huge iron gears still remain at the ruins of this ancient sugar plantation.

Homosassa is dominated by the Homosassa River and all the water activities that come with it. Fishing and boating are a way of life in Homosassa Fl. Homosassa Springs is the big attraction, millions of gallons of crystal clear spring water is pumped out of the ground to feed the Homosassa River at a constant 72 degrees year round.

This warm water attracts the Florida manatees during the cooler winter months. People come from all over to witness the native manatees in all their natural splendor.

The Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park offers an open environment zoo to see native Florida animals like the Florida panther, alligators, flamingos, bald eagles, otters and black bears up close including the manatees.

The "fishbowl" is a large underwater observatory you descend into for a few like no other as the large manatee sea cows glide effortlessly by the viewing windows.

Freshwater river fishing and saltwater fishing in the Gulf of Mexico are very popular in the Homosassa area. Many world renowned fishing guides offer professional charter fishing trips in Homosassa Florida.

In fact, the world record tarpon was caught just off the coast of Homosassa Fla.

Much of Citrus County including Homosassa is protected from real estate development.

Natural preserves, wetland, bird sanctuaries, and wildlife reservations have been set aside as park areas for people to enjoy recreation activities among the natural wonder of this pristine "Old Florida" environment, unchanged for hundreds of years.
