Silver Springs State Park


Sunday, April 3, 2016 - Citra, FL


After Mass this morning we decided we would finally go to Silver Springs State Park.  It is a very nice park.  It just became a state park in 2013.  It was at one time the big attraction of the area, but in the 1960’s Disney came along.  It is a beautiful park and well worth the time!

When we arrived there was a soft shell turtle by the entrance.
This used to be the entrance.
There is a restaurant here also.

We went on a nice long hike.  We took the blue trail, which connected up with the Sand Hill trail, then the Sink Hole trail.

We eventually made our way up to Silver Springs River.  What a nice river.  The water was very clear.




While sitting enjoying the view at the river we were talking to another couple and found out that the Tarzan movie was filmed here as well as the movie Creature from the Black Lagoon.

We had a really nice time.  Gracie really enjoyed the walk also!  :)

It was another wonderful day!
