Crystal River Live Cam

Some people prefer being below the water, and there are few places in the world that can compare to the diving opportunities here. The spring-fed rivers, shallow Gulf coastal waters and underwater caverns offer many opportunities to those who like to view underwater life face to face.

An abundance of birds inhabit Citrus County's acres of forest and uplands, as well as coastal and wetlands areas. Because Citrus County works hard to maintain this corner of the world as "Mother Nature's Theme Park", quietly coexisting with nature's other life forms, there are many opportunities to view birds in their natural habitat.

Fishing in "Mother Nature's Theme Park" is not a matter of if you fish, but rather where, when, and for what. Citrus County is a prime place to fish and people come from all over the country to find prize tarpon here. We have one of the most pristine and productive estuaries within the state of Florida and our borders are comprised of water on three out of four sides.
