Manatee Springs State Park, Chiefland Fl.

Ticks, Ticks, and more Ticks. Been here several times, popular with cave divers. There is a small spring area for the kids to enjoy on a hot day. Spring run off allows access to the river. Since investing in a canoe, we have not made it back. It is on my to do list. Park is small, but well kept. There is a fishing pier, boardwalk and a small floating dock area. Deer...Deer are abundant and as a result, so are the ticks. Check yourself and others well upon departing. We have not stayed here without at least one of us picking up a hitchhiker.
