The recent hurricanes have impacted our Mermaid Tail Trail, leaving some of our beloved mermaids temporarily displaced. Unfortunately, a few of our shimmering friends are currently unavailable for viewing. However, our team is working diligently to restore and reinstall the displaced mermaids. We appreciate your patience and understanding. Please check back with us for updates on when these magnificent mermaids will return to their posts along the trail.

Wondering where to begin your mermaid journey? Let the Mermaid Tale Trail Passport guide you. We've put together an itinerary featuring a recommended path to discover all twenty-seven statues, starting from our Welcome Center in the charming historic district of Brooksville.

The Kraken

The statue depicts a Kraken’s tentacles rising up from a dark sea, as if being summed to do the bidding of the mermaid herself! Her loving features, soft appearance and shimmering tail provide a sense of peacefulness for those crossing her path, unaware of the beast that she is about to release from the depths below.
