Tarpon Springs Bayou

Great place to see manatees and dolphins. It’s also a wonderful place to walk and relax

Great place to walk around! We saw quite a few manatee today.

What a beautiful park this is. The water is so tranquil and soothing. Lovely place to take a walk, with plenty of shade trees. There are many historic homes surrounding the park. And lots of the original masonry, making this spot extra special.
Dogs are allowed, too🐶

Great place to see manatees and take a walk. There were at least 8 manatees in the water and they were active the day I was there. There are people kayaking and lots of people walking dogs. It’s a beautiful setting right in the city. There was plenty of parking and it’s free.

The Tarpon Springs Bayou is the place where we hold Epiphany every January 6th.

It is also the site for many other events like the Fine Arts Festival which is typically held in March every year.

They have a saltwater boat launch, restrooms, a concrete path to walk around the Bayou, a park, playground, restrooms and lighted tennis courts.

And it's just a block from Historic downtown Tarpon springs.
10 out of 10. Would highly recommend!

Absolutely Amazing and a Beautiful Place to Relax! Every year the Greek Epiphany Event is at this Location. The boats in the pictures is where they jump from and into the water to retrieve the Cross from the Lake. Thousands of people come from everywhere to see the Event take place including the Archbishop of the Orthodox Church and numerous Political people. The Event is Normally in early January.

Such a beautiful place in Tarpon Springs... A small bayou at the west side of Tarpon and you can go there to walk even to relax and enjoyed the environment... Good for picnics at the weekends also and for little kids too...

P.S. also here you can see at 6th of January the epiphany and the blessing of the water by the orthodox priests... such a nice experience with so many people...

Fun place to walk around! They have a cute little coffee shop there with an upstairs that has a cozy little areas to sit on some comfortable sofas and drink your coffee. They have a antique toy store that we visited on the downtown main Street and being that it's December they had a cute little mailbox where the kids could put letters to Santa. You can take a walk down to the bayou and look at the water and we saw manatee. There are lots of manatees there in the winter who come in for the warm water and that's a great place to check those out.

Beautiful, well maintained park. Great for manatee viewing and just enjoying the outdoors. Site of Tarpon Spring's traditional epiphany celebration.One if the best parks in the area..

Beautiful old Town with old historic homes. And of course you have the Sponge Docks, shopping at Many cute businesses. Nice place to check out!

This area is not to be missed when you visit Tarpon Springs. Lovely bayou surrounded by some of the oldest, most elegant, homes & mansions in the area. Several from the founders & earliest inhabitants of Tarpon Springs

Went to see the Manatees and early morning is the best time. A very pretty area to relax and read a book or picnic. Lots of shade and parking.

Quaint little walk among beautiful lit paper bags with messages and wishes from/to loved ones.
Friendly atmosphere, people on kayaks and paddle boards.
Quite cute

Wonderful place to walk and for the kids to play. Great spot for fishing and you may even catch sight of some manatees.

Got to see Manatees in the lake, it's matting season. Beautiful view. Loved this plaque by the water, written by a Vietnam Veteran. Seems so true. If you love Greek food and many shops and real sponges, this is a town to visit, here in Florida.

Absolutely beautiful park. Light up the Bayou is amazing

Seeing the snout of a manatee several times was the frosting on the cake of beautiful Craig's Park; with picnic tables, benches & walkways. The Rec Center & Heritage Museum add greatly to Memorial Park.

Great place to view manatee in the winter months when it is cooler.

Really nice, saw a dolphin while we were there

I see manatees often in winter time. Definitely go for Epiphany on January 6th for a huge Greek festival. They also do candles around the bayou for prayer intentions every Christmas Eve!
