The courthouse
The Old Courthouse, built in 1912, is now the Old Courthouse Heritage Museum, run by the Citrus County Historical Society.
The lakes
Three pools on the Tsala Apopka chain take their names from Floral City, Inverness and Hernando. The Withlacoochee River feeds them.
Parks and trails
- Liberty Park, Wallace Brooks Park and the Depot District, city sites in town.
- Whispering Pines Park, 290 acres.
- Fort Cooper State Park, with Lake Holathlikaha, more than six miles of trails, and a fort from the Second Seminole War.
- The Withlacoochee State Trail, about 47 miles from Citrus Springs to Trilby.
Getting around
US 41 and State Road 44 run through the city. Driving times without traffic: 3 minutes to HCA Florida Citrus Hospital on West Highland Boulevard, 28 minutes to Crystal River, 85 minutes to downtown Orlando, 96 minutes to downtown Tampa and 100 minutes to Tampa International Airport.
Homes
Two of Myriam's listings are in Inverness: Avocet Court in Connell Lake Estates, and Cunningham Avenue in the Villages of Inverness, on a double lot. Both are on the listings page.
Before you buy by the lake
Lakefront homes need the same checks as waterfront ones: flood zone, elevation and insurance. Ask for them before you make an offer.
