The Crystal River near Inverness is home to one of the state’s largest populations of manatees; they’re particularly prevalent during the winter months when the river’s temperature is warmer than other coastal waterways.
It’s also one of the only places that visitors can swim with manatees in their natural habitat, and it’s fed by springs that keep the water relatively constant and in the low-70s year-round.
There are several access points on the river, and many visitors choose to spend an entire day swimming, hiking, and fishing. The nearby town is home to a historic plantation and a variety of shops and restaurants for those who prefer to keep moving.

Crews Lake Wilderness Park is located close to downtown Spring Hill, but at more than 100 acres, it’s large enough to give visitors a feel that’s usually only present in larger and more rural parks.
The park features an extensive network of multi-use trails that lead through varied environments. Along the way, there’s an observation tower, cultivated gardens, and lots of bird feeders that draw an abundance of bird species.
There are plenty of areas along the trails where visitors can throw a blanket down before diving into a picnic lunch. The park is particularly pleasant in the low light morning and evening hours when it’s not so hot, and the animals are most active.
