Lake Manatee, despite its name, isn't actually where you'd find manatees. A dam built in the 1960s restricts access for these gentle giants. However, the 2,400-acre freshwater lake itself offers plenty of interesting things to discover. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife sightings – turtles basking on logs or birds soaring overhead are common encounters.
