Hunter Springs Park

Only about 100 feet offshore of Hunter Springs Park is a natural spring that feeds into the Crystal River and Kings Bay.

The park offers a small beach and a roped-off swimming area.

There’s a kayak/canoe launch and a boardwalk along the waterway where you are likely to spot vibrant wildlife and birds.

They also have a playground area, and other amenities.  It’s not uncommon to spot manatees swimming by, especially in colder months.
