    Manatee Springs State Park Three Day 'Springs Break' Real Florida

    Manatee Springs State Park Three Day ‘Springs Break’ Real Florida Guide Note: Colored numbers correspond with numbers on the map and represent destinations for each day. Red = Day 1, Green = Day 2 and Blue = Day 3. Enjoy a three day ‘springs break’ sampling some of Florida’s crystal-clear watery gems sprinkled among the nine-county region known as the Nature Coast. You can make your base camp at Manatee Springs State Park’s full-service campground or the comfortable cabins at Fanning Springs State Park. Take your time sauntering from spring to spring, dip a paddle in the majestic Suwannee River, bike the scenic Nature Coast State Trail, and enjoy the natural wonders and wildlife of the region. Day 1 Manatee Springs State Park (1), with a full-facility campground surrounded by red oak woodlands, makes an excellent base camp for exploring the charms of the Nature Coast. The park’s first- magnitude spring produces an average of 100 million gallons of clear, cool water daily. In winter, West Indian manatees swim upriver to the warmer waters of the springs. Popular for snorkeling and scuba diving, the headwaters of the spring are also an inviting spot for swimming. Canoe and kayak rentals are available all year round on the spring run that forms a sparkling stream meandering through hardwood wetlands to the Suwannee River. Hiking and bicycling are available on eight miles of an inviting shady off-road trail system. Try your luck fishing from the park's boardwalk along the spring run and in the Suwannee River for largemouth bass, catfish and a variety of tasty pan-sized fish.
