Hunter Springs Park

Hunter Springs Park is a public recreation area managed by the Public Works Department of the City of Crystal River. Although it has no boat ramp, the park does feature a small beach on the shore of the Crystal River. Kayaks can be put in the water here and paddled downstream all the way to Kings Bay. A set of concrete steps also leads into the water, with a handrail provided for visitor safety.

Other facilities at Hunter Springs Park include a picnic area with barbecue grills, clean restrooms, and broad grassy areas for walking, resting, and playing. A covered pavilion can be found here, too, available to use for birthday parties, reunions, and other social events on a first come, first served basis. A children's playground has also been added.

Improvements at Hunter Springs Park have been made possible through grants obtained from the Florida Recreation Development Assistance Program (FRDAP), a state project that helps municipalities acquire and develop land for public outdoor recreational purposes.

Hunter Springs Park is located at 104 NE 1st Avenue, Crystal River, Florida 34429. Operating hours are from sunrise to sunset daily, and there is no charge for admission. Parking is available on the surrounding streets.
