This is the kind of river you want to paddle along and get lazy. Going past Monkey Island was fun but seeing the Manatee go by on their travels to the warm springs and Three Sisters was amazing. We also headed out towards the Gulf and saw dolphins in the distance. What an amzing experience!

The Homosassa River is very beautiful to see and if you ever want to go Kayak out there, this is the place to go especially if you want to see Manatees but there won't be a lot of them if it's not winter in Citrus County. If you decide to see Manatees, wait until winter and you'll see a bunch... More

We had a great day on the River. Awesome way to see houses on the shore, birds and manatees. We saw a LOT when we went. Heard "Puffs" from all around us as they came up for breath. Soooo cool. Nice alternative to the bigger tour companies. Luckily the day before we had done a tour & we went out... More

We took my cousin, visiting from Oregon. He was used to the East coast of FL and never realized how beautiful our area of Central FL was- the wildlife and the beautiful accessible locations. Homosassa Springs Park was a highlight of his trip

It was such a unique place and all the boaters and every where we went it was "Hoppin" and lots of activity! Live Music and good drinks.

Been here before, will always go back. This time we took a river trip with Cap'n Jeff, who was personable, knowledgeable, and fun. $60 took the three of us out for an hour and a half or so, up to where the manatees hang out, and we saw some dolphins too, also turtles, herons, and lots of birds. We sailed... More

If you want to see manatees in their natural environment, this is a great place to visit. There are some good restaurants on the river too.

Lovely place to spend some time and just relax. At the top end is the State Park which is well worth a visit and at the other end the Gulf also worth a visit. All the way down , or up, there are lots of things to see and do. There are currently five Bars restaurants most of which give... More
