The saved FWC record identifies Cross Florida Greenway - Withlacoochee Barge Canal Boat Ramp on Withlacoochee River (West Central Florida) Barge Canal in Citrus County. That identifies a public access reference, not a reserved working route. Send the actual vessel position and confirm current operator permission before relying on this location.
Use the vessel’s actual position, the allowed approach and equipment needs. The directory records Cross Florida Greenway - Withlacoochee Barge Canal Boat Ramp on Withlacoochee River (West Central Florida) Barge Canal and Goldendale Public Boat Ramp on Withlacoochee River (West Central Florida) Lake Rousseau. Straight-line proximity to a place reference point does not establish the suitable recovery route.
Provide the vessel pin and authorized entrance, then describe whether it is afloat, submerged or ashore. The listed location for Cross Florida Greenway - Withlacoochee Barge Canal Boat Ramp is US Highway 19 on Cross Florida Barge Canal, CRYSTAL RIVER, 34428; do not substitute that ramp address for a boat elsewhere.
These answers use the saved ramp records linked below. They do not confirm present opening status, commercial-use permission or a completed AAA job at those sites.
Local waterfront context includes Kings Bay and Homosassa River. Identify the specific dock, marina berth or property where the boat rests. A waterway name does not establish access or permission to carry out recovery.
For a boat ashore, send current images of the supports and approach. For a submerged vessel, describe its position and depth if known. Explain who can approve the work and whether you want to retain the boat or include paid disposal.
For a vessel outside Citrus County, use the guide for its actual location.

Weather, official access restrictions and available crews affect when field work can proceed. Do not enter an unsafe site to obtain photographs. For immediate danger to people, contact emergency services.
