Manatee Deck Closed
The road accessing the Manatee Observation Deck on the northeast side of Haulover Canal is being paved and will be closed for construction. The construction period may last until September. If you are interested in viewing manatees a good alternative location is Bairs Cove Boat ramp, located on the southwest side of Haulover Canal.  There is a designated gravel parking area for manatee viewing on the left before entering the boat ramp area.  The entrance fee will be temporarily waived during this time for people viewing manatees.  The fees still apply for all other activities at the boat ramp.
