8 Things You Should Know Before Visiting the Manatees at Blue Spring State Park // Florida Travel

About an hour drive northeast from the theme parks of Orlando is a place of unspoiled beauty, where in cooler months, you’re almost guaranteed to see Florida’s most beloved marine animal.
Off Interstate 4 in the community of Orange City is Blue Spring State Park. The park covers more than 2,600 acres, including the largest spring on the St. Johns River. The park is a designated manatee refuge and the winter home to a population of West Indian Manatees.
From mid-November through mid-March, several hundred manatees flock to the constant 72-degree spring water.
Visitors from all over the world descend on the park to get a better look at this awe-inspiring creature.
Today’s video is dedicated to the sea cow. We’re running down the 8 things you should know before visiting the manatees at Blue Spring State Park.

Had a great stay there, manatees and firefly's! Worst part of it was one night gun shots and police helicopters over the nearby neighborhood/edge of the park
