We took a day trip to Crystal River, FL and explored Crystal River Preserve State Park, Crystal River Archaeological State Park and Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park. We did a little hiking and some paddling, but our favorite part of the day was visiting with the animals at Homosassa Springs Wildlife Park. I hope you will enjoy!
