Local front desk
The boardwalk and the spring run have different entrances.
Use the Three Sisters swimming page before choosing land or water. You cannot enter the water from the refuge boardwalk, and arriving by water does not include boardwalk access. For a paddle or boat launch, check the city ramp page; it separates city ramps from the Fort Island Trail ramps managed by Citrus County. Follow current refuge notices once on the water.

Last checked July 26, 2026. Place names, county coverage, GEOIDs, coordinates, and population labels come from the Census sources in the Florida place data used by this site. County tax planning rows use Florida Revenue November 2025 millage data. The local front desk is a reviewed profile of the city and county split, checked August 12, 2026. Direct note relationships and contextual note paths are kept separate. Parcel values, exemptions, permits, school assignments, storm instructions, utility service, private rules, and final bills still depend on the exact address and the official office or document.
