About
Inglis and Yankeetown, Florida
Tucked away just a few minutes
north of Crystal River, is a quiet, untouched, nature lover’s
paradise. The town of Inglis and Yankeetown is densely
populated with forests, waterways, and wildlife. Located
on the banks of the Withlacoochee and a short distance from
the Gulf of Mexico, this exciting wilderness is just an
hour or two from major metropolitan cities such as Tampa,
Orlando, and Ocala.
You may never want to leave
this gorgeous pristine environment though because there
is so much to do here! As part of Florida’s Nature Coast
you have unlimited options for planning your days. There
are world-class golf courses, great salt water and fresh
water fishing, other water activities, antiquing, hunting,
bird watching, hiking, and much more. The area hosts many
annual events including a seafood festival, the Withlacoochee
Bluegrass Jamboree, arts and crafts fairs, the Spring Festival
and a Christmas Parade.

With the Withlacoochee River just minutes away from you
at all times, the Gulf of Mexico in close proximity, and
several other lakes and rivers, water fun is a guaranteed
winner with every one. Rent a boat, canoe, or kayak and
make your way down any river. Put a jet ski in at the nearest
lake and enjoy a day on the water with some friends. If
you are interested is some great salt-water fishing, make
some time to head towards the Gulf of Mexico. Here you have
your choice of redfish, shark, flounder, grouper, and many
more species of fish to please any angler. And if you think
you can handle the challenge, try your hand at tarpon fishing.
You can book a fishing trip with some of the best guides
in Florida.
