Crystal River Archaeological State Park is a National Historic Landmark spanning 61 acres, featuring a complex of Native American mounds, burial sites, and a substantial midden. This archaeological site, one of the longest continuously occupied in Florida, served as a ceremonial center for Native Americans for over 1,600 years, attracting visitors from great distances for trade and burial practices.
In addition to its rich historical significance, the park offers various recreational opportunities, including fishing, hiking, and birdwatching, as part of the Great Florida Birding Trail. Visitors can explore the museum's exhibits on prehistoric coastal dwellers and stand atop the temple mound, experiencing the same views that Native Americans enjoyed centuries ago.
