The Swamp at Wakulla Springs in Florida

In addition to the grand historic lodge, the swamp at Wakulla Springs in Florida is equally impressive. The clear water, visible seaweed, and hanging moss make it evident why Creature from the Black Lagoon was filmed here in the 1950s. The wildlife is also abundant, and early in the morning I was greeted by several manatees swimming just off the dock.
