Crystal River Refuge's Manatee Manners for Paddlers
Between November and April, Kings Bay is home to the largest aggregation of manatees in a natural environment in the world. To protect manatees from harm, harassment and disturbance, the Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge and Manatee Sanctuaries were created in parts of Kings Bay. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service asks all paddlers to watch this informational video in order to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for humans and manatees alike.

Kayaking with Manatees on Crystal River - Three Sisters Spring - Crystal River Plantation, Florida
Three Sisters Spring is an important natural habitat for manatees from mid-November until late March. The natural spring water remains a constant 72 degrees and the manatees gather in the warmth to rest and feed over the winter months. During our visit in late January we were able to see hundreds of manatees of all sizes in the waters beneath us! We rented kayaks from the Crystal River Plantation and paddled about a mile over to Three Sisters Spring. The area is roped off for conservation and was crowded with snorkelers and boats, but we were still able to see many manatees in the water. Some swam right beside our kayaks! It was an amazing experience and the area is well suited for the sightseers. There was even an island with a small beach area we stopped at for a rest.

The Plantation on Crystal River, Florida
This episode of Florida's Best Weekend Getaways takes us to one of my favorite places, Crystal River, Florida. Crystal River is a natural spring-fed river that is amazingly clear with turquoise water.
The river is a constant 72 degrees year round due to the 5 million gallons of spring water pumped into out of the ground every day. The constant temperature is what the Manatee love so it is no surprise that it hosts one of the largest Manatee population in the world!
The Plantation on Crystal River is an old southern-style plantation that sits beautifully right on the river and also has a championship golf course as well. They have very nice rooms as well as golf villas that sleep 6. The resort also has an excellent restaurant with one of the best Sunday brunches I've been to.
Along with all of this the spa is amazing!
Checkout their website and you'll see why I love it so much and wanted to feature it for the series.
I highly recommend the Plantation on Crystal River for a weekend getaway! Would I steer you wrong? I don't think so!
xoxo

Kayaking with Manatees in Crystal River, Florida - www.snowmads.com
Wild manatees come to these springs near Crystal River, Florida for the warmer water during the winter. All human interaction is closely monitored by wildlife protection officers to keep the manatees from being disturbed too much by people and boats. We rented and launched our kayak from the great people at Crystal River Kayak Company. All footage shot with a GoPro Hero 4 on a Sandmarc telescoping pole. We stayed in our motorhome at the lovely Rock Crusher Canyon RV Park nearby.
