Artist's Description
Chassahowitzka Spring Group is one of Florida's best kept secrets. The word Chassahowitzka is an Indian name meaning "land of hanging pumpkins", a wild variety that once grew along the banks.

It is home to hundreds of species of birds including the Bald Eagle as well as the West Indian Manatee during the winter season. Pods of dolphins are often seen navigating the river. There are many tributaries to explore with a boat, often with a spring as it's source. One can easily explore this area for days. In 1941, approximately 31,000 acres of freshwater tributaries, saltwater creeks and hardwood hammocks were designated as a National Wildlife Refuge. The springs are in Citrus Country, Florida
