Crystal River Preserve State Park in Florida covers salt marsh, tidal creeks, mangrove islands, hardwood forests, coastal scrub and pine flat woods. The park is located in a transitional area from a temperate and sub-tropical climate zone and contains plants and animals from both regions. The preserve follows 20 miles (30 km) of coastline along the Gulf of Mexico from Crystal River though Ozello to Homosassa.
The primary recreational opportunities at the Preserve are hiking, biking, birding, kayaking, fishing and nature observation. Crystal River, which provides refuge to wintering manatees, is located 3 miles southeast of the main park entrance.
