Drought conditions in Citrus County may lead to the closure of several boat ramps in the area. The Citrus County Chronicle reported that low water levels in the Withlacoochee River and other waterways are causing concerns for boaters and residents alike.
The closures are possible due to critically low water levels, which are a result of the ongoing drought in the region. According to officials, the water levels in the Withlacoochee River have dropped significantly, making it difficult for boats to navigate the waterway. The Citrus County Board of Commissioners has been monitoring the situation and may decide to close boat ramps in the coming weeks if the drought persists.
Some of the boat ramps that may be affected by the closures include:
- Withlacoochee River Boat Ramp
- Inverness Boat Ramp
- Homosassa River Boat Ramp
Residents and boaters are advised to check the water levels and ramp closures before heading out on the water. The Citrus County Chronicle will provide updates on the situation as more information becomes available.
