A place of exceptional natural beauty
The undisturbed islands, inlets, backwaters and forests of this Crystal River Preserve are especially cherished by nature lovers and photographers.
Visitors can hike or bicycle along nine miles of trails or study the native wildlife and plants on the two-and-a-half mile interpretive trail. Anglers can walk down a short path to the Mullet Hole for a relaxing afternoon of fishing. Paddlers can launch a kayak or canoe into the waters of the scenic Crystal River to see the park from the water
Hours of Operation:
The five trail heads are open daily from 8:00 a.m. until sundown, 365 days a year. The visitor center is closed on weekends.
