Crystal River, Florida Real Estate and City Information

Crystal River, located about an hour north of Tampa Bay in the rapidly growing West Citrus County, is an unspoiled playground. Located along Florida's Nature Coast, Crystal River is one of the last natural gems of the state of Florida. See more demographical information on Crystal River
 
Most noteworthy, Crystal River is home to the largest herd of endangered manatees in the US, congregating primarily in the beautiful Crystal and Homosassa Rivers. They can be seen from the riverbanks or by engaging local guide services for a boat or up-close snorkel encounter. These gentle giants average 10 feet long and 1,200 pounds.

Crystal River is also famous for its flats fishing where redfish, sea trout, tarpon and mackerel are abundant. Grouper are great favorites in the Crystal River deeper waters.

Local fishing guides can outfit individuals or groups. The nearby islands of Kings Bay are perfect for diving as well, but are mostly accessible by boat only.

About 20 minutes south of Crystal River is the Homosassa State Wildlife Park, where visitors can see the rare whooping crane, deer, bears, bobcats, egrets and flamingos along unspoiled nature trails as well as manatees in an underwater observatory.

There are festivals and events galore in Citrus County. Annual happenings include the FL Manatee Festival, Homosassa Arts, Crafts, and Seafood Festival, Floral City Strawberry Festival, Heritage Village Scarecrow Festival, theatre, concerts, and lectures - something for every interest!
