CITRUS COUNTY Florida, conveniently located between the metropolitan centers of Tampa, Orlando and Gainesville. Citrus County is situated on the Gulf Coast of Florida on what is referred to as the "Nature Coast". The region is unique in that approximately 40 % of the land has been set aside for public use and can not be developed. Thus Citrus County has become known as a natural playground for water sports such as fishing, scalloping, boating, swimming, canoeing, kayaking, snorkeling, scuba diving, or just relaxing and tubing down the Rainbow River.
