About this site
Crystal River is a spring-fed river system in Citrus County on Florida's Gulf coast, formed by Kings Bay and its network of springs near the town of the same name. It is best known as a wintering site for West Indian manatees, which gather in the warm spring water during colder months, drawing snorkelers and divers into the shallow, clear spring runs. The area includes several named springs and swim-with-manatee sites accessed by boat from local outfitters in the town of Crystal River.
