I also love watching the manatte's in the cooler months here in Florida. The are called gentle for a good reason. You can also scuba dive in the hot spring. Great picnic area.

Well after going to Wekiwa Island last year a friend asked me to join there group at the State Park. I feel in love with it.

Whether you're going to canoe or swim in the springs this is a great way to spend a day with nature! :)
