Homosassa travel guide

Homosassa is a census-designated place (CDP) in Citrus County, Florida, United States. The population was 2,294 at the 2000 census.

The Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park is often home to large numbers of 'migratory' manatees, which frequent the area due to its springs and relatively warm waters.

The Wildlife Park helps spread awareness about the dangers of boating around areas inhabited by manatees as well as the destructive effects of polluting the environment.
