Q: What should I know before visiting Manatee Park?

Certain sections, like the boardwalk trail to the kayak launch, may be temporarily closed for maintenance, but other facilities remain open.

Q: What should I know before visiting Manatee Park?

A: Here are the key things to know before you visit Manatee Park: Rules and viewing etiquette - Manatees are wild animals — do not pursue, chase, harass, touch, ride, feed, separate a cow and calf, or disturb mating or resting groups. - Never use your boat or water to attract manatees to a dock or vessel. - Do not block a manatee’s path or try to “fish” for or hook a manatee. Safety and boaters - Slow down and follow posted waterway speed limits when manatees may be present — boat strikes are a leading human cause of manatee injury and death. - Wear a Coast Guard–approved life jacket (PFD) when on a boat or near the water; attach a whistle and carry signaling tools (mirror, etc.). - Wear polarized sunglasses to help see objects and animals just below the surface. Conservation and care for waterways - Keep litter, fishing line, and debris out of the water; participate in beach/waterway cleanups and recycle fishing line. - If you see someone harassing or injuring a manatee, or find an injured, orphaned, or dead manatee, report it immediately to the Florida Wildlife Commission Wildlife Alert at 1-888-404-FWCC (3922) — you can also try dialing #FWC or *FWC on a cell phone. Practical tips for your visit - Docks and shore viewing areas are often the best places to see manatees safely. - Bring water, sunscreen, a hat, bug spray, and comfortable shoes. - Observe and obey waterway signs: circular signs indicate rules to follow, diamond signs warn of hazards, and a diamond with a cross means do not enter. Ways you can help - Slow your boat and obey speed zones. - Properly dispose of trash and recycle fishing line. - Report wildlife in distress and raise awareness about manatee protection. Follow these guidelines to enjoy the park safely while helping protect manatees.

Q: When is the best time of day to visit Manatee Park?

Q: When is the best time of year to visit Manatee Park?

A: The best time of year to visit Manatee Park is between January and March, as this is when manatees are most likely to be seen in their natural habitat due to the warm water flowing into the Orange River.

Q: When is the best time of year to visit Manatee Park?
