Citrus County
Florida
The only place in the continental US where you can legally swim with wild manatees, Citrus County is a nature lover's paradise. Crystal-clear springs feed Kings Bay, the Withlacoochee State Trail draws cyclists from across the state, and the small-town downtowns of Crystal River and Inverness offer genuine Old Florida character.
