City of Inverness was named in 1891, lies comfortably between the tranquil waters of the chain of  
seven lakes leading to the Gulf of Mexico, known as the Tsala Apopka (considered one of the richest  
bass fisheries in the world), and continues to the moss filled oak trees of the Inverness highlands.  
Its historic downtown square with an array of fine shops, restaurants, the Crown Hotel and Citrus  
County’s turn-of-the-century Courthouse (appeared in film scenes from “Follow That Dream” starring  
Elvis Presley), bathe Inverness in the ambiance of times past. 
 
Inverness is geographically located in the center of the State of Florida and it bears a notable  
resemblance to its sister city – Inverness, Scotland. An hours drive of Tampa’s Busch Gardens to the  
south, Orlando’s Disney World/Epcot complex to the southeast, the charming old fishing village of  
Cedar Key to the northwest and Gainesville’s FSU Gator football games to the north.  
 
As part of Florida’s Nature Coast, Inverness has much to offer the outdoor enthusiast, including  
fresh-water sport fishing, airboat tours, riding stables, the Withlacoochee State Trail and the 300- 
acre Whispering Pines City Park. Also, just 30 minutes from Ocala’s Silver Springs, Homosassa  
Springs’ Wildlife State Park (Home of the Manatees) and Crystal River for salt-water sport fishing,  
pontoon boat tours, casino cruises and a Gulf of Mexico’s public beach.  This hospitable vacation  
destination remains a prime example of unspoiled lands.  For more Area information, contact the  
Citrus County Chamber of Commerce in Inverness. 
 
A truly great Central Florida location for social & recreational activities, fine dining and so much  
more!
