Homosassa (Duncan J. Macrae) Public Boat Ramp

Riverhaven Marina provides boat access to the Homosassa River, a scenic 3.36-mile waterway located in Citrus County, Florida. The river is a slow-moving freshwater system with minimal gradient and an average flow of about 52 cubic feet per second, making it suitable for recreational paddling and boating. The access point is located just 2 miles upstream from the river's mouth, where it flows toward the Gulf of Mexico, offering paddlers and boaters the opportunity to explore a natural Florida river system with relatively calm conditions.

The Homosassa River's low velocity of 0.67 feet per second and flat elevation profile indicate gentle water conditions ideal for kayakers, canoeists, and recreational boaters seeking a leisurely paddling experience. The river's drainage area of 53 square miles supports a stable flow throughout the year. Being a tidal system near its mouth, water levels may fluctuate with Gulf tides, which paddlers should account for when planning trips. The proximity to the river mouth provides access to both freshwater and brackish water environments typical of coastal Florida waterways.
