On Wednesday we rode south to Homosassa Springs to the Wildlife State Park. This started out as a home for animal actors. Eventually the state bought it and now it is a rehab park for manatees as well as a zoo for Florida native critters, except one outsider. I'll show you him later.
We started by taking a mile long boat ride down Pepper Creek from the highway to the park.
Homosassa is a first magnitude spring, producing several hundred gallons of fresh water in a single day. There is an underwater viewing room so you can check out the fish and manatees.

Nice looking eagles
The park is very nice, a great way to spend the day.
