Scenes from the Silver Springs State Park



Welcome sign inside the gates


Cypress trees growing through the bridge that leads into the park


Pretzels and popcorn available at the glass bottom boat marina


Lots of folks taking advantage of the crystal clear water


The canoes are right over the main spring


A crooked palm tree and a statue of the Seminole Chief, Osceola


Further down the Silver River

  3. I love that the trees are on through the bridge.

    (and no, there didn't appear to be a garage with that ultra modern house. with the winter we just had I wonder if they regret that?!)

  7. It looks like they've developed it quite a lot: if you build it they will come.

  9. You know what I'm going to say! :-) It looks so beautiful and calm.

    Shouldn't this belong to the Seminoles?

  12. It looks like a very pleasant and scenic spot to visit, and I like the choice of different kinds of boats. I've been on Minnesta waters in a canoe many times so I'd instead choose the glass bottom boats.

  14. Silver Springs looks like a fine place to spend some time. Remember seeing signs to it when I rode to Florida with my parents as a child, but we were always too pressed for time to make this stop.
