Manatee Springs State Park


First thing, we didn’t actually see any manatees. We hear manatees show up here in the winter when the 72 F springs is warmer than other rivers. Right now, 72 F is good for cooling off. Swimming with cedar trees along the sides and the limestone and sand base is interesting. Oh, and we saw both turtles and snakes in the water which makes swimming just a bit more exciting.

There are several sinkholes in the area. This one is called Catfish Hotel. Scuba divers can swim beneath this to three miles of an underground cave system.
The park has a lot of deer. Every day we’d see deer wandering among the campsites and along the road. One morning there were 6 deer at our campsite. So, lots of pictures and even a short movie!
