Citrus County Lake Quality

Florida, 49 lakes, measured by Florida DEP

There are 49 monitored lakes in Citrus County. The mix is varied enough that the county-level average tells you the broad strokes, not the choose-this-cabin specifics. 27 of those lakes carry recent nutrient and algae readings. The county-level summary describes that subset, not every water body listed. Most monitored lakes in Citrus County carry favourable nutrient and algae readings for Florida.

The county's lakes lean shallow, which makes the readings sensitive to wind, sediment-resuspension, and any nutrient inputs from the watershed. The cleanest measured lake is Citrus-Floral City Lake.
