Citrus County FL Now and March 2024 To DO

Time to look at what is happening in Citrus County in the next month…

Don’t miss the chance to see the manatee up close and personal in Citrus County. The winter weather has been so cool! (I hope for not much longer). Many of  the manatee  have been staying in the Three Sisters Refuge Park.  We ventured there a couple of weeks ago and rather than take the trolley because we were not interested in taking a tour of Crystal River… we parked off of 3 Sisters Springs Rd. behind the Sherwin-Williams paint store, and walked into the park. However, you still have to pay, but there are discounts for residents,  seniors, as well as United States Park pass holders.  You do have to walk a bit, but it’s a nice wooden boardwalk for the most part.  You can see from the pictures the manatee do huddle there, and you’re up close to them.  We were there at 9:30 am and more people were coming in at 11 am. Our family was very happy with our trip there.
