Re: Florida Get Together 2010 OFFICIAL NOTICE make your reservations!!!!!
I'm new to the forum and only just saw this thread. Crystal Isles is just across from where my Florida home is located, on the other side of the Crystal River.
The whole area is a boater's and fisherman's paradise. Turn left out of the canal and you'll find Shell Island the Gulf. Turn right up the Crystal River and you come to Kings Bay, right in the center of town with all kinds of waterfront places to visit where you can probably moor up for a few hours, get a meal or drink.
There is also a large free public ramp with ample parking just down river from Crystal Isles.
Besides Crystal River, a visit to Homassassa Springs just to the south of there would be worthwhile and also Inverness amongst the lakes to the east. And quaint little Yankeetown is just north of there on the Withlacoochee River.
Watch out for the manatees and don't worry about the gators, they'll keep away from you. I guess I'll already be headed back north around that time, but have fun anyway!
