Three Sisters Springs are a trio of beautiful natural springs located within an inlet on the eastern end of Kings Bay, contained within the Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge and open to the public each year between mid-November and late March. The 57-acre preserve, which was acquired and opened to the public in 2010, is accessible via land or via water by kayak or canoe, known as a significant habitat for endangered manatees in Citrus County. Visitors can view manatee populations and other native wildlife via a quarter-mile boardwalk with viewing platforms or stroll along over one and a half miles of nature trails throughout the preserve, which offer chances to view natural landmarks such as Lake Crystal and Magnolia Springs. Manatee tours of the springs region are also offered by a number of companies and marinas within the city of Crystal River.
