Save Crystal River Restoring and protecting Crystal River and Florida’s waterways for future generations. However, we know many of you enjoy the waterways in Crystal River.

If you don't live in Citrus County, you may not have heard about the issues citizens are facing concerning the waters of King's Bay in Crystal River. Snorkeling in King's Bay, viewing manatees, swimming the springs, water skiing, power boating, kayaking, fishing, crabbing or simply picnicking on one of the many islands are just some of the activities we have enjoyed over the years. We also know that some of you have property in Crystal River and the reason you do is so you can enjoy the water. Save Crystal River is trying to ensure that future generations will have the same opportunities to experience the beauty and recreational activities enjoyed by current and past generations. Welcome to Save Crystal River’s page where we aim to keep you up-to-date about our Kings Bay Restoration Project.
