Small riverside park centered on a clear freshwater spring and observation boardwalk — prime for shooting winter manatees, reflective riverscapes, and the historic spring house. Visit in winter (Nov–Mar) for manatee activity; golden hour at sunrise or late afternoon yields warm side-light and long shadows. Free entry, limited parking along 2nd Ave E; boardwalk offers accessible vantage points. Weekdays are less crowded; check local manatee season and tide for best sightings.
