"We didn't get to take the boat tour due to our schedule. Will definitely be back. Beautiful park and the LODGE looked wonderful."
"This is so much fun for any age. I'm on the rivers alot, but don't get to see the wildlife like you can here because they are gone before you get near. Plus Manatees are always a special treat!"
"We were there this year to enjoy the grounds and do some hiking. In the past, we have eaten at their magnificent Thanksgiving Day buffet. I love the architecture and nostagic feel of the inn. We spotted several manatees and a nursing calf this time. So special!"
"Nice state park, some hiking trails, a hotel with restaurant and gift shop. Info booth and a boat tour that is pretty fun. Not pet friendly. We saw manatees, turtles, great blue herons, many other water fowl, lots of fish in the super clear water, and a dozen or so sleeping alligators along the shore. We even saw a deer bedded down in an alligator nest. $8 for the boat tour of appx 45 mins. Lunch at the lodges was very good, and a bit on the pricey side, but they are super slow. So don't plan to make it a quick bite"
"It was very enjoyable. We had lunch at the picnic tables and even saw a tiny alligator at the sink holes! We were going to go on the boat tour but it was already booked for the day (due to FSU Homecoming traffic) The chairs were super comfy in the lodge and the person behind the counter was super helpful! The water felt great and there weren't very many people swimming! Highly recommend"
