Activities
| Open 365 days a year , Manatee Springs offers camping , hiking , fishing , swimming and boating along with many other challenges for your outdoor experience . If outdoor adventure is in your vacation plans , you can canoe or kayak down the great Suwannee River and count the alligators or grab your diving equipment and if your cave certified , explore the many miles of caves that run under the park. ** All divers must register at the Ranger Station and pay required fees. ** If your looking to just relax and get away from the city life , you can camp in one of thier beautiful wooded camp sites and enjoy the wild life as they come up and get close and personal with you . With deer , armadillo's , squirrels and raccoons living abundantly through out the park , it is a sure bet you will be getting a visit from one of their many furry friends when they come up to take a look at what you are doing or try and join you for dinner. All they ask when it comes to the wildlife in the Park is that you enjoy visiting with them , take plenty of pictures and enjoy your personal visit but PLEASE do not invite them in for supper ! It is not good for their system and besides " It's against the law " Along with your daily visits from their furry friends , you can enjoy beautiful walks along the boardwalk that takes you out to the Great Suwannee River or follow one of their many miles of hiking trails that takes you through all natural hardwood hammocks and cypress swamps or just sit back and relax while you look out over the main boil with its crystal clear water gently flowing out the spring run . Pavilions are available for family outings or company picnics with a great children's play area close by that all over look the beautiful spring . Sitting in the middle of 2,444 acres of Florida's finest natural scenery , Manatee Springs will take you back in time to a place where Mother Nature kissed the ground and blessed us with such a gift. |
