| Location: Manatee Springs State Park is located at the end of S.R. 320, off U.S. 98, six miles west of Chiefland, FL. |
| Description: A first magnitude spring, over 100 million gallons of water gush forth daily at Manatee Springs. In winter, manatees swim upriver to spend the night in the warm waters of the headspring. Popular for snorkeling and scuba diving, the headwaters of the spring are also a great spot for swimming. The spring run forms a sparkling stream that meanders through hardwood wetlands to the Suwannee River. |
| Personal Notes: I have only visited one time, but this park does have a nice spring area and some nature trails. |
