Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

The Lee County Manatee Park is a 17-acre regional waterfront park in Fort Myers that provides an excellent opportunity to see manatees up close. Established in 1996, the park is situated right across from the Florida Power and Light Power Station which releases clean, warm water into the brackish Orange River, attracting large numbers of manatees who are very particular about the water they swim in. The family-friendly park boasts several great viewing points to see the manatees, including underwater viewing points where visitors can hear the manatees communicating with each other. There are several hiking and nature trails, a boardwalk that winds through the mangroves, plenty of picnicking areas, kayak rentals, and an amphitheater.
