A top archaeological destination for Native American artifacts.

The 18 acre site contains six mounds - two platform mounds, two midden mounds, and two burial mounds. The largest mound - A - has a staircase and platform from which you can view the river and much of the site. There is a museum which is open from Thursday through Monday, 9 - 5. The parking fee is only $3.00 which can be paid in the box just outside the Museum. (Lift the lid, take out the blue envelope, deposit in the slot - place the blue tag on your rear-view mirror in your car.) Lovely walk, with several benches along the way. A must-see for the Crystal River area.

Our anniversary evening ended with a a stunning sunset display! Most people were gone as they were about to close at sundown. Plenty of places to dock boats, and various amenities make Pete's Pier a place to park for a perfect evening wind-down.

Easy, informative, educational and historic, this simple stop taught us about 19th century sugar production, and was pretty cool, too. And, there were feral orange trees, from which we could pick fruit!
