Manatee Springs - Crystal Clear Water

Manatee Springs is a State Park in Chiefland. The park is centered around a freshwater spring that flows into the Suwanee river on it's way to the gulf.

The park is an excellent place to camp or picnic. The Spring is a fantastic place to Dive or swim.

There is a swift current coming out of the spring. If you are diving you can really feel it when you get close.

In the water around the Spring are Mullet, Turtles, small Freshwater Flounder, and the occasional Manatee. Follow the law with regards to the Manatee and you might get a pleasant encounter with these gentle giants!

Welcome to Bill's!

Bar-B-Q Bills is a great little barbecue restaurant off the main drag in Chiefland. They serve up a wide range of barbeque that is typically served dry with a couple of mustard or vinegar based sauces to put on them.

In addition to the wide range of beef, pork, chicken and turkey. Bill's also offers a good selection of Vegetables and a salad bar for those looking to put some health in their diet.

Favorite Dish: The Ribs were excellent as was the Fried Okra. They also offered a Stewed Okra as the vegetable of the day but I just couldn't pass up the fried Okra.

The only down side was their sweet tea. I like my tea real sweet and Bill's came up a little short.
