No Wake Zones Posted for Withlacoochee River
In accordance with FWC Rule 68D-24.109, an "Idle Speed No Wake" zone has
been posted for another portion of the Withlacoochee River. To enact the Rule, Citrus Coun-
ty Aquatics Division uses two USGS gauges positioned at Hwy 44 and Holder. The gauge at
Holder must reach 7 feet, and this level was exceeded early this morning.
This segment is Mile Marker 9 (Big Flat Rock) to Mile Marker 24 at Camp Izzard
Boat Ramp, which covers 4.5 miles of the Withlacoochee River.
The No Wake zone will be in effect until the river recedes to below 7 feet. FWC
officials and the Citrus County Sheriff s Office will be patrolling for enforcement.
Signs are still posted in the other three sections of the river, Mile Marker 34 to
Mile Marker 35A (Turner Camp) and Mile Marker 38 to Mile Marker 41 (Squire Court to
Shawnee Trail), and Mile Marker 24 to Mile Marker 30 (Camp Izzard Boat Ramp) and No
Wake zone regulations are still in effect for these areas.
Boaters should be aware of these posted signs in these areas of the Withlacoochee
River and are asked to follow the "Idle Speed No Wake" zone regulations.
For questions or more information, please contact Citrus County Aquatics at 527-
7620 or FWC at 850-617-9547.
