Beach area at Hunter Springs!
Julie W.

I bring school kids to swim with the manatees here! It's a lil piece of Heaven! Be sure to visit while in Crystal River! So peaceful & fun!

Since we got a late start and covid had reduced the capacities of the tubing parks we could not get in for that but we did get over to this spring to at least do some swimming. Parking is rough and we had to park about 4 blocks away but that was fine. The beach had nice sand and the water was nice a chilled. A lively crowd and lots of fun on a hot day.

This is a great little park. They have picnic tables, bathrooms, and a swimming area right off the beach. It's a popular kayak launching spot. There is limited parking that you do have to pay for and it quickly fills up. We came early in the morning, so we didn't have that issue. Beautiful sunrise photo opportunities!! They open at 8am.

This was a great little beach spot. Perfect for sunning on the beach in the powder sand and you can then walk into the water to cool off, it's also a good spot to snorkel. We had the pleasure of seeing a manatee and some fish go by which was cool to see. There is a paid lot there so it's easy to access and there are bathrooms on site too.

This is a great city park. People complaining to pay $5 to park (all day!), really?! You have a beach, a designated swimming area, a place to launch your kayak/ paddle board, a play ground, places to grill, a pavilion, picnic tables, bathrooms, I mean all this for $5 bucks are you kidding me?! And less if you only want to park for a few hours. 2 hours..$2! I think this place is a gem. If you want to get to Three Sister Springs, this is the best launch spot. Make a right out of Hunter Springs, then make a left just past the marina, go under the bridge and it's down on the left. Don't pay crazy tourist trap prices when you can come here. This place is a family favorite.

This park is beautiful. The water is crisp, clean and fresh. Some people brought their dogs but really hope they keep the fur babies home and go to a designated dog park/beach. This is our second visit here and love visiting the spring. There are manatees, clear water and it feels so refreshing. There's a playground and bathroom facility. We visited on a Friday and it wasn't to busy. This is a great place to visit with friends and family Since there's lots to do

The beach at Hunter Spring

Best thing we've found near Weeki Wachee for swimming, aside from the water park which hits capacity nearly as soon as it opens. We came to this area on a little vacation with the internet of swimming I n the springs, and we're very disappointed in the area in general. Hunter Springs is a nice little place - it is very small, but quaint. Nice for the kids (especially little kids) and if you wanna rent a paddle boat or whatever it would be a great time! Just depends what you're looking for. I'm from a bit south of here, Fort Myers, which has a ton to do but no springs.

When you first drive in this park doesn't really look like much but there is a beautiful spring here for swimming/snorkeling and kayaking. The water stays cold all year round (around 72 degrees I believe) and is very clear. Only issue with this park is that it is small so I imagine the summers being very crowded and crazy.

Nasty. Got a $50 parking violation saying it's paid to park but didn't see the sign. Be careful!

AWESOME! Sometimes very crowded, but a great way to beat the heat when the gulf is too warm.

Unforgettable Scalloping & Fishing Experience with Capt. Louie in Crystal River, FL…read more If you're looking for the ultimate Gulf Coast adventure, look no further than Capt. Louie's scalloping and fishing charter in Crystal River, Florida. From the moment we arrived, everything was top-notch -- professional, welcoming, and fun! Capt. Louie is the real deal. His knowledge of the area, the water, and the best scalloping and fishing spots is unmatched. He made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable, whether it was diving for scallops in the clear grass beds or reeling in fish . He's incredibly professional, patient, and clearly passionate about what he does. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a first-timer, you're in great hands with him. On top of that, we stayed at Capt. Louie's Airbnb -- and WOW. It was spotless, spacious, and just minutes from the water. It had everything we needed for a relaxing stay after a full day on the boat. You can tell a lot of thought was put into making it feel like a true home away from home. This trip was the perfect combination of adventure and relaxation, and we're already planning our next visit. If you're in Crystal River and want a first-class scalloping and fishing experience, book with Capt. Louie -- you won't regret it! A little late on the review , this was last year

Don't waste time doing any more research - book your trip with Florida Fishing Adventures…read more I've been fishing for most of my life, and living in Los Angeles the past 20+ years, I've spent a lot of time on short- and long-range trips fishing California and Mexican waters for tuna, yellowtail, dorado, Calico bass, etc., so suffice it to say I've done a lot of fishing. But when it comes to fishing for grouper, redfish and other species around Crystal River, I was clueless, so on a recent trip there I was smart enough to set up a charter for my buddies and me with Captain Louie at Florida Fishing Adventures. It was epic. First off, I saw a lot of different boats from the various outfitters and Cpt. Louie's rig rides like a dream, has a huge beam, and a ton of fishing space - a much better layout than any of the other boats I saw. Louie also didn't cut any corners when it comes to his fishing gear, with top-of-the line setups for our day on the water. But most importantly, Louie put us on the fish immediately, and coached us up on how to hook and land those grumpy grouper. We caught our limits of quality fish, which made for a great meal and ton of filets for the freezer. I won't even think about booking with another guide next time we're in town. So be sure to book your outing with FFA and you won't be disappointed!
