About Crystal River
Crystal River is an incorporated city in Citrus County on Florida's Gulf Coast, incorporated in 1923 and home to about 3,400 residents. Its Kings Bay is fed by roughly 50 springs that hold a steady 72 degrees, which is why hundreds of manatees gather there each winter and why the city calls itself the Home of the Manatee. ZIP codes 34423, 34428 and 34429 serve the city. Inside Crystal River is our free daily guide to events, food trucks, live music, restaurant specials and community news in Crystal River, Homosassa, Homosassa Springs, Lecanto and southwestern Citrus County.
