Silver Glen Springs is among the most beautiful of Florida’s blue gems, in no small part due to its exceptionally clear water and beautiful setting in the Ocala National Forest. Unlike some Florida springs, the unparalleled clarity of the water at this spring can always be counted on.
Silver Glen strikes visitors as so extraordinary that they are usually full of questions for anyone who will take the time to talk to them. Among other things, they want to know: Where does so much water come from? Why is it so clear? Is there a cave down there? What about the sting rays, what are they doing here? Will they hurt me? Are there sharks here too? Are those Indian mounds?
