Where can you touch a manatee?

Since the 1970s, Citrus County has been the only place in America where you can swim with and touch manatees legally. Manatees flock into the freshwater springs this time of year to stay warm in the 72-degree water. This makes chilly days the perfect time to see them up close. HOMOSASSA, Fla.

Yes! But not just anywhere, and there is only one place where you can actually swim/snorkel with wild and free (uncaged) manatees in their natural habitat, that is unless you just happen to run into one of them when swimming in spring-fed Florida rivers.
