About Silver Springs

Home to one of the world's largest artesian springs and the site of the original glass-bottom boat tours since the 1870s, this park showcases crystal-clear waters teeming with fish, turtles, and manatees. The 5,000-acre park preserves longleaf pine sandhills and offers river paddling, camping, and museum exhibits.
