King's Bay and King's Bay Manatee Kayaking
Citrus County is probably best known for its
manatee or "sea cow" population. The waters
of Citrus County are the winter home of
upwards of 400 West Indian Manatees (Trichechus
manatus latirostris). This accounts for
15%-20% of the Florida population. These
unique creatures are listed as endangered by
both state and federal governments and
Citrus County has adopted additional
measures to further protect the species. The
animals frequent King's Bay in Crystal River
and the Blue Waters area of the Homosassa
River with peak numbers occurring during
cold snaps from October through April.
