The locally adored Wildlife Walk brings guests on an exciting journey woven through Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park’s many animal exhibits. The park is home to alligators, black bears, red wolves, Key deer, flamingos, and whooping cranes each serving as their species’ ambassador. All of the animal inhabitants are in the state park for the same reason: they are unable to survive in the wild on their own.
*Daily Tours* Our delightful 15-min Boat Tour departs from the Visitor Center Boat Dock and makes its breezy way through Pepper Creek towards the West Entrance of the Park. Once you arrive at the West Entrance Dock, the entrance to the Wildlife Walk is across the street. The boat ride is $3.00 or you can walk or take a tram on Pepper Creek Trail for free.
The oldest, and perhaps most famous, hippopotamus in captivity, this lovable beast is turning 64 in January 2024!
The Fish Bowl Underwater Observatory floats in the main spring and allows an up-close view of the gorgeous waters, thousands of Gulf of Mexico fish, and adorable manatees. A live-feed television screen is conveniently located on the observation platform allowing visitors to view the marine wildlife from another underwater perspective.
The 0.75-mile Pepper Creek Birding Trail runs from the visitor center parking area and loops through the parking areas at the West Park Entrance. This trail is one of 20 birding trails in Citrus County that are part of the Great Florida Birding Trail.
