Do not remove, deface, mutilate or molest any natural resources. For your safety, do not feed any animals. Intoxicants and firearms are prohibited. Hours of Operation Florida state parks are open from 8 a.m. until sundown 365 days a year.

Service dogs are welcome in all areas of the parks.
Fascinating educational programs are offered daily on West Indian Manatees, alligators, crocodiles, Florida snakes and other wildlife. The park serves as a rehabilitation center and refuge for endangered West Indian Manatees that have been orphaned or injured in the wild and also for manatees that have been born in captivity. The natural spring environment allows them an opportunity to re-acclimate themselves to a more natural environment before they are returned to the wild. The park does not allow swimming with the manatees because these animals may someday be released and would lose their fear of man, placing them at a disadvantage once they are returned to the wild. GIFT SHOP Homosassa Springs offers a variety of gifts that may be purchased from the park or through mail order.
