    Silver Springs with Glass-bottom Boat

    Nestled in north-central Florida, just east of Ocala, Silver Springs State Park has been a cherished natural landmark since the 1870s. Hop aboard one of our iconic Glass Bottom Boats and be amazed by the stunning beauty and vastness of Mammoth Spring, the river's main source. As you glide along, you’ll discover a variety of scenic feeder springs, spot an array of fish species, and even glimpse ancient Native American and Spanish artifacts. Plus, you might catch a glimpse of underwater movie props from the Hollywood productions that once called this park home!
