Our Community - Spring Hill
Spring Hill is the largest Hernando County community. About 93,000 people - who love to live abundantly - have found a lot to love here.
Sitting along Florida's western coastline only four miles from the Gulf of Mexico, Spring Hill's diverse neighborhoods and cultural, recreational and educational opportunities, make this a most special place to live, work and play.
Hernando County is located on the central-west coast of Florida north of Tampa Bay. It is bordered by the Gulf of Mexico on the west, Citrus County to the north, Sumter County to the east and Pasco County to the south. Hernando County stretches 37 miles east to west and 18 miles north to south, for a total of 506 square miles (approximately 323,700 acres).
As part of the Nature Coast, vast tracts of public land have been preserved in Hernando County. These include the Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge, Chinsegut Hill National Wildlife Refuge, Withlacoochee State Forest, Weeki Wachee Preserve and the PK Ranch. Recreation abounds on the Withlacoochee and Weeki Wachee Rivers as well as at the Silver Lake Recreation Area, and the first-magnitude Weekee Wachee Springs.
With an average January temperature of 60 degrees, year-round outdoor recreation is the mantra in Hernando County. Hunting, fishing, camping, paddling, birding and hiking are just a few of the many recreational opportunities enjoyed by residents and visitors alike.
