Today we depart Crystal River, FL. It has been an excellent week and we have enjoyed it very much, despite the weather being less than perfect. We swam with the Manatees which was a wonderful and unique experience. The cold weather caused many, many more Manatees to be in the area and the fact that there were literally hundreds in the cove we visited was extremely unusual, and perhaps a once in a lifetime experience.
Homosassa Springs State Park was one of the best state parks we have ever visited. Great staff, well maintained, lots of different and healthy animals. Thoroughly enjoyable from the moment we got there boarded the boat and moved into "old Florida" as they call it. The underwater viewing area was amazing and we couldn't get enough of the Manatees swimming by the window as well as the large number of fresh fish of all sorts.
Rainbow River State Park was another excellent park....Crystal clear water, beautiful trees and peaceful, self guided hikes.
We will be back to this area again in the future.
