The property is owned by Bird's Underwater Dive Center in Crystal River, home of swim with manatees tours, this is our 3rd listing in one of our favorite playgrounds. Ginnie Springs Resort is only 13 miles away a 200 plus acre park along the Sante Fe River. Ichnetucknee Springs Park, Manatee Springs State Park, Little River Springs and many other public access sites within 20 miles. This is cave diving country, but awesome for snorkeling, kayaking, fishing, an absolute nature get-away but only 40 minutes from Gainesville and 30 min. to Lake City. This large concentration of Florida Spring sites is unique to central Florida.

Fish and Wildlife manages thousands of acres to the west, and down river you will see untamed State Forests.
