Lake Rousseau in West Central Florida is a man made 3,657-
acre lake. Three counties surround Lake Rousseau. Levy County
and Inglis to the North. Citrus County and Crystal River to the
South. Dunnellon and Marion County bounds the North East.
The Rainbow River and Withlacooche Rivers feed Lake Rousseau
with millions of gallons of fresh oxygenated water each day.
Rousseau is primarily a Bass fishing lake because of the
abundance of vegetation and natural cover. Big Bass like this
stumpy lake and so do a large variety of other fresh water
species. The old Withlacoochee River channel cuts through
Lake Rousseau to the Inglis Dam and Cross Florida Barge Canal.
Fishing is good year round on Lake Rousseau and the
Withlacoochee River backwaters. Come try your luck and have
some fun.
While visiting Lake Rousseau and for some strange reason you
got tired of fishing, there are a lot of other activities to enjoy
that are really close. The Rainbow River in Dunnellon Florida is
great for canoeing or kayaking. Dunnellon, Inglis and Crystal
River offer restaurants, shopping, Manatee tours, diving,
snorkeling, boating and swimming. For a complete list click on
