I waited a bit too late in the "season" to go to Blue Spring State Park in Orange City, Florida. Too late, because the the park's main attraction -- the West Indies Manatees -- have moved back into the river instead of hanging out in their winter home of the springs (aka The Manatee Hot Tub.)
Just because the manatees are gone, doesn't mean people still can't walk the boardwalk and nature trails and using the campground facilities. There's also an older house museum called the Thursby House to explore.
Blue Spring State Park is located north of Orlando near Deland off of I-4 (exit 114) in Orange City. It takes about an hour from the Disney Area to get there. A little longer if you have to fight traffic through downtown Orlando.
