About this river

Withlacoochee River

The Withlacoochee River is a 141-mile-long river that flows through central Florida. It is one of the state’s most popular rivers for recreational activities such as boating, fishing, and swimming. The river is fed by several smaller waterways and has numerous reservoirs and dams along its length. The most notable of these are the Withlacoochee Dam and the Lake Rousseau Dam. The river has a long history, and the area surrounding the river was once home to several tribes of Native Americans. The river has also played an important role in Florida’s agriculture, with farms and citrus groves located along its banks. Despite its importance, the river has faced pollution and other environmental concerns in recent years, leading to conservation efforts to protect its water quality and wildlife.
