Take a trip down the Withlacoochee River and you’re bound to see remnants of this small town’s significant past; shrimping and fishing boats. While the community’s economy is not as centered on fishing and shellfish as it once was, it still has its place.
The location is a popular one for sportsmen – whether for fresh or saltwater fishing – or hunting. The nearby Ross Hammock Ranch has hosted hundreds of celebrities, corporate executives, and others looking for an unforgettable outdoor experience.
Small bed and breakfasts, lodges, and shops line Follow That Dream Parkway (County Road 40), where filming was done for the Elvis Presley movie the roadway is named after. Crystal River is 10 minutes to the south, while Dunnellon is about 15 minutes east; Ocala is another 20 minutes after that.
