SILVER GLEN SPRINGS

I have a new favorite place in Florida. Isn’t this beautiful??? Ahhhh – it’s a tropical oasis right in the middle of the Ocala National Forest. I used to live in Ocala and never knew this was here!

Silver Glen Springs is a 1st magnitude spring with a large, semicircular pool that flows into Lake George. The water is COLD, but it was such a hot day that it felt pretty good. Boats are able to anchor right outside the spring – I would LOVE to rent a houseboat and hang out here all week.

Me and my sister-in-law Stephanie kicking HARD to get on top of the spring – when you look down, you can see huge fish at the bottom of the spring.

There were perfect sunny spots for picnics – but the bear-proof trash cans were also rather “Punkin proof”.

I spotted this little guy watching my family snorkeling right there in the background.
