Winter or summer, this is a must-see. Manatees populate the springs in the winter months with over 400 spotted in a single day. In the summer, cool off in the springs that are a constant 72 degrees year round. Rent a float, canoe, or kayak. Pack a lunch. The best part may be the $6.00 admission for a carload.
