Crystal River

Play great golf, swim with the manatees, reel in Florida’s best fishing,  hike through unspoiled forests, dive for scallops, and cycle on one of America’s top-rated trails. Crystal River is a coastal city in western Florida. Not only is the Crystal River area home to some of the best gold courses in the entire nation. The area is fed by natural springs, and is home to the Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge, sheltering manatees year-round. Boardwalks at Three Sisters Springs Wildlife Refuge offer views of the marine mammal and the natural springs. You can also swim with these gentle giants, go kayaking, or paddle boarding as well! Crystal River is also known for it’s world class fishing and visitors come from around the world to experience the sport on the pristine waterways. The short run to the Gulf of Mexico and the abundance of fish relatively near the shore make for memorable days on the water. Truly a golf and nature lovers paradise!
