Things to do
Springs and state parks on the menu in Homosassa
To catch a glimpse of bulbous West Indian manatees, hulking hippos, snapping American alligators and nimble river otters, you're best off making a beeline straight for the acclaimed Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park. Boasting an underwater observatory and oodles of managed forest walks, it's the top spot for getting up close to Florida's unique Gulf coast nature. To the south of town, the Chassahowitzka River and Coastal River Swamps offer a chance to see even more of the Sunshine State's great outdoors, with boating trips, fishing excursions, and crabbing jaunts all on the menu.

Natural features
Wetlands and marshes envelop Homosassa
To the north, south, east, and west of Homosassa, it's wetlands that dominate the landscape. As the Floridian citrus groves feather out, they give way to the winding water channels of the Homosassa River, which gradually turns into a series of fragmented sounds and brackish lagoons, where babbling springs and clutches of tropical forest abound. This is prime manatee territory, not to mention a habitat for crocs and gators, otters, and black bears, all of which can be spotted on the nature trails of Homosassa Sprinvgs or on boating trips through the Chassahowitzka Swamps.
