Located just west of Florida City, Blue Spring State Park is a manatee haven. Manatees flock to the warm spring when the outlaying water temperature drops. The day Mike and I visited the manatee count was about 115. A few days later when the temps dropped even lower, Mike's cousin and family visited and there were over 460 manatee in the spring!!
Here are some pics from our visit. I sure was nice to have clear water for viewing them!
