About Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park

A floating observatory here lets visitors get close to manatees gathered in the spring water, one of the notable places in Florida to see them. Beyond the observatory, the park has recorded black bears, bobcats, white-tailed deer, American alligators, and river otters within its grounds. The setup centers on direct viewing access to the animals rather than distant sightings.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
