Citrus Springs is a planned community nestled in beautiful northern Citrus County, Florida. Originally planned by the Deltona Corporation's Mackle brothers in the late 1960s and early 1970s, Citrus Springs boasts over 34,000 homesites in its lushly, wooded 21.2-square mile boundary. Enjoying the plethora of natural amenities isn't difficult, but deciding which to partake in on any particular day might be. The area boasts a bevy of water-related activities due to its proximity to the Gulf of Mexico as well as seven freshwater rivers and numerous crystal clear springs. Boating fishing, swimming or just lazily floating the day away are just a few of the possibilities in thiwater-lover's paradise. However, if you prefer to keep your feet on dry land, Citrus Springs offers plenty of options there as well. The Withlacoochee State Trail, is a 46-mile bike riding trail that was converted from the railroad lines built in the early 1900s. North Central Florida is also known for its world-class equestrian events and horse farms, and there are numerous golf courses if you prefer swinging the irons. It's an understatement to say new homesites are plentiful.
