If you’ve been on a day trip kayaking with
manatees, dancing with
mermaids, and have some extra time in the area, you may want to hike around nearby
Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge. The
Salt Marsh trails [S Mason Creek Rd, Homosassa, FL 34448] is a small section of the park that has a little over a miles worth of trails.
A shaded path leads out to an observation where the view opens up and stretches for miles.
Follow the banks of a winding creek with your eyes, the perfect place to look for birds.
We spotted a clapper rail that was too elusive to photograph. Don’t forget to check in the sky for the swallow-tailed kite.

I know this is an old post but just a bit of clarification. The Salt Marsh Trail is in the Crystal River NWR. The Chassahowitzka NWR is a few miles south and much more remote (and does not have any accessible trails). Thanks for the blog post & pics!
When in Rome 🙂 !
Looks beautiful! Nice extra little walk to add to a day down there.
