Birds are singing, and the cool Gulf breeze is making its way across our Master-Planned Community!

This is truly a special time of year in our area.

Living in a county that is nearly 50% protected natural habitat gives us options that you will not find in other places in Florida!

What does this mean? It means no crowds, low crime, no traffic, and no long waits!

What else does it mean? It also means that we basically live in an outdoor-lover’s Disneyland!

Right now is a great time to dive in and experience one of our true Florida treasures, the West-Indian Manatee.

These gentle giants are a protected species that migrate to our area for a big chunk of the year to avoid the more northern states' cold waters.

This allows for spectacular opportunities for you and your family, as many describe our manatee tours as “life-changing.”

The fresh spring water in our area is 72 degrees year-round, which gives you plenty of choices as to when and where you would like to make some new manatee memories.

If you don’t want to get in the water with them, there are plenty of options for you to view them from above, whether it is a guided manatee tour or whether it is from your boat or kayak!

Bear in mind; there are rules and regulations regarding manatee encounters, such as “no touching,” etc.

The manatees are friendly and curious and will often come up and greet visitors; this is a special experience that will stay with you forever.

With the plethora of boat ramps and docks surrounding our area, on all sides, you won’t have a shortage of options available to you if you feel like taking the boat out or renting a kayak for the day!

Not only are we located in an area that is known for its world-renowned bass fishing, but there is also quite a variety of other popular fish species here, such as snook, grouper, and tarpon – To name a few!

Other fishing seasons: Scallop season and stone crab season will be starting in just a few short months from now too, which are always great day-activities that let you really interact with nature and even catch your own dinner!

Scallop Season: July 1– September 24

Stone Crab Season: October 15th– May 15th

(Please check with FWC about current season dates and for obtaining your fishing license. There are many rules and regulations for participating in Scallop and Stone Crab Season in Citrus county.)

Whether you want to leave the gates of Citrus Hills or not, you’ll have plenty of options available to you if you feel like taking your bicycle out or go for a hike.

Our community park, Rockwood Park, offers a beautifully landscaped 1.5-mile paved trail that runs alongside the park and over 7 miles of other trails that run alongside the road in our community!

The Withlacoochee State trail runs South to North along the Eastern part of our county and is 46-miles of scenic paved trails!

You can even take a hike into the Withlacoochee State Forest, and off of the short and shaded Trail 22, you will find one of our natural wonders, The Dames Caves.

These caves are some of the oldest and most beautiful caves in Florida!

Some, you can even look straight down into – No need to climb in!

Rainbow Springs State Park is just outside of Citrus County and only a 25-minute drive from our gates.

This beautiful park offers something special that not a lot of other people get to see in Florida… Waterfalls!

That’s right, waterfalls in Florida (The perks of living in an elevated area)!

Eating lunch next to the sound of a powerful waterfall is all you need when you’re looking for something different to do with your day!

This park also offers other fun activities, such as freshwater springs for snorkeling and tubing, gardens to explore, and picnic areas to relax and have a nice lunch!

Avenue of the Oaks off County Road 48 is another iconic vista if you’re looking for a shaded and breezy bike ride down a breath-taking path.

This road is full of incredible protected oak trees that are all unique in their winding branches that extend out over the road.

There is no comparison to the natural beauty here, and it’s something everyone should experience at least once in their life!

Florida is at the top of the list, as far as international scuba diving destinations… and for a good reason!

Citrus County offers over 29 freshwater springs.

This is the highest single area of springs in the entire state!

With incredible underwater caves for exploration, Citrus County is known as “Cave Country.”

The caverns in our springs are naturally-lit by sunlight as you make your way through to our world-famous underwater caves!

With all of the outdoor recreation to choose from, it’s easy to social-distance from others… and have fun doing it!

This is truly a place where nature-lovers can find their own kind of paradise!
