The Citrus County Birding Trail is part of the West Section of the Great Florida Birding Trail. Citrus County, located on the West Section of Peninsular Florida about seventy miles North of St. Petersburg provides a unique topography for all birders. The eighteen birding trails created for the Great Florida Birding Trail program take into account these unique features that make Citrus County and its habitat for birds a special place. The county trail system is divided into the three natural ecological characterizations that make up the geology of the county.
