Homosassa River Manatee
Trip
Join Carolina Mike & Friends on this Fun, Exciting Treasure of
Florida.
Homosassa River is famous for two things; manatee's and the people who come to
view them. And during the winter months of December to March, you can expect
to find plenty of both. The freshwater spring fed river is a favorite wintering
spot for the West Indian Manatee.
Paddle Difficulty: An easy paddle for the beginner and
up. Kayaks available for rent.
