- Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge - The Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge is a manatee sanctuary nestled in the heart of Florida’s Nature Coast. Spanning over 80 acres, this refuge is a haven for an array of wildlife, offering visitors a captivating glimpse into the region’s natural wonders.
One of the refuge’s most enchanting features is its resident population of West Indian manatees. These gentle giants, often referred to as “sea cows,” seek refuge in the warm spring waters of Crystal River during the winter months, making it one of the premier destinations for manatee viewing in the United States. A resident herd of 40-60 manatees make the refige home year round.
Beyond the manatees, the refuge is home to a diverse array of bird species, including herons, egrets, ospreys, and bald eagles. Birdwatchers will delight in the opportunity to spot these majestic creatures as they soar overhead or wade through the shallows in search of food.
