Find a Park

Situated on the banks of the legendary Suwannee River, this center honors the memory of American composer Stephen Foster, who wrote "Old Folks at Home," the song that made the river famous.

A sparkling spring run and boardwalk beneath a cypress forest make Manatee Springs State Park a breathtaking destination for visitors to this unique Florida gem. Visitors enjoy camping, hiking, swimming and canoeing, while keeping an eye out for the West Indian manatees that frequent this park.
