While Citrus County has continued to go through record growth and home and land appreciation and commercial development, so pristine is much of the county that more than 152,000 acres out of Citrus County's 683 square miles have been acquired through local, state and federal funds and set aside to protect it from excessive development to preserve wildlife.

This provides for a myriad of outdoor activities from hiking and jogging, to bird watching, horseback riding, camping and more. The cities, towns and communities within Citrus County have set aside greenbelt areas, preserves, parks, and recreational areas offering tennis, horseshoes, skateboarding, and a host of activities.
