Things to do

Silver Springs State Park contains a beautiful natural spring with kayak rental services on site. You can rent by the hour, for the day or bring your own. The kayak’s are a great way to see the monkeys and the old ruins in the park. The park is great for hiking, wildlife watching and you can take a ride on the famous glass-bottom boats!
