Photography at Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge

Young student takes pictures of manatees resting in Three Sisters Springs

The most popular photography experience in the refuge takes place at the Three Sisters Springs boardwalk where anyone can find the perfect shot of resting manatees in the natural “giant bowls filled with liquid light” that make up the Three Sisters Springs. Underwater photography of manatees is highly popular as well, but be aware of flash regulations according to where you choose to take photos and be sure to watch "Manatee Manners" for photographers and videographers before your visit.
