A NOTE FROM THE MANAGER

Manny Perez

Spring time is a great time for Floridians to camp at

Lake Manatee. The nights are cool and the visitation is low. Come out and rent a canoe or fish of the dock. Gopher Tortoises are being seen as the weather warms. Sighting of the Swallow Tail Kites have been made. Check out new items at the gift shop.
