More Info : Homosassa Springs is the headwaters of the Homosassa River. This short, slow-moving tidal river flows eight miles from the headsprings to where it meets the Gulf of Mexico at Homosassa Bay in Citrus County.

Homosassa Springs is the most important natural warm water refuge for the manatee, along the gulf coast of Florida and it attracts between 500 and 1000 manatees each winter.
