About
Manhattan
Manhattan, located between Lake George and the St. Johns River, is a rural and waterfront Astor neighborhood with boat ramps and riverfront camps. Character concentrates around the Astor Bridge on FL-40, where bait shops, marinas, and riverfront bars set a working-waterway rhythm. The Astor Bridge Marina and Sparky’s Place act as familiar local anchors for boaters and day-trippers. Low-slung homes, fish camps, and docks line sandy lanes, with palmetto flats and oak hammocks close behind. Days track the river: airboats, bass boats, and slow cruises under the bridge. Nearby public land and springs keep the landscape dominant and the pace unhurried.
