What a great place to go. See the manatees and if you won't you can swim with them while you're there. The water is always 72 degrees so they say. Lol

Crystal River Preserve State Park is a hidden gem tucked away on Florida’s gulf coast 💎 You may know about Crystal River being a great place to see and snorkel with manatees, but this area is full of springs, rich history, and diverse ecosystems. Crystal River Preserve State Park protects 27,500 acres of scrub, pinewoods, hardwood forests, salt marshes and mangrove islands. There are several trails spread throughout different trailheads in Crystal River, totalling over 15 miles. In the park, you can enjoy hiking, fishing, kayaking, boat tours, and mountain biking.

Amazing place! Great for a picnic, Kayaking, swimming, or hiking. We went kayaking was able to see a lot of manatees. We even were able to swim with them! Beautiful creatures...Plenty of things to do here. I suggest coming before 12 pm bc the sun isn't as strong. We will be coming back for sure.

Great place to visit! Crystal loop, the first turn off, leads to some awesome trail walking. Good place to walk with the family dog and your spouse. Lot of tree roots on some parts but manageable so long as you watch your step.

A GREAT little trip!! Our captains had lots of local insight on various birds, aquatic life and local history. We spotted a momma Manatee and her calf within the first 5 minutes of the tour. I would recommend this trip if you have an hour of free time to kinda get the lay of the water and points of interest.
