Managed in cooperation with Florida Division of Forestry

Greg Lasley U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Citrus WMA includes nearly 50,000 acres in Citrus and Hernando counties, just west of Inverness. High-quality sandhills support approximately 60 active colonies of red-cockaded woodpeckers, as well as indigo snakes, fox squirrels, gopher tortoise, and white-tailed deer. This wildlife management area is one of seven large tracts that make up the Withlacoochee State Forest. Recreation opportunities include hunting, fishing, wildlife viewing, camping, hiking, biking, picnicking, and horseback riding.
