Tampa Electric Company's Manatee Viewing Center - The Great Florida Birding Trail on Waymarking.com

GFBT-West Section, Site 107 Not a primary Trail site. "Worth A Visit" if you're already in the area. For more than 20 years, visitors of all ages have enjoyed the Manatee Viewing Center, an ecological gem tucked among the mangroves beside the discharge canal of Tampa Electric’s Big Bend Power Station. This canal is where manatees gather in numbers that can top 300 when the temperature of Tampa Bay drops below 68 degrees Fahrenheit. The Manatee Viewing Center is open daily, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., from November 1 through April 15 annually. (The center is closed Thanksgiving, at 3 p.m. on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and Easter Sunday.) (Description from TECO website) www.tampaelectric.com/manatee/ ...
