Things To Do
Weeki Wachee Springs State Park
This site is very popular and will close to visitors once capacity is reached for the day. Please plan ahead and go early in case it fills up. Also has the famous MERMAID show which may require advance booking, so please check out the website for details.
Tarpon Springs Sponge Docks
Tarpon Springs is on the Gulf Coast, about 50 minutes from Spring Hill. The area is famous for the mostly Greek divers who settled here and dived for sponges. The town then became known as the Sponge Capital of the World! Lots of nice shopping and eateries in a small downtown feel.
Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park
Another one of Florida's spectacular natural freshwater springs. The springs water are at a constant 70-72 degrees year round and are also a popular spot for wildlife like manatees. Although in the winter months manatees tend to migrate south to warmer waters.
