1. 1

   Silver Springs State Park

   Pass by

   We will all meet and launch from the State Park. We will paddle through the beautiful-crystal clear waters shaded by large oak and cypress trees and then come to the large opening where the main spring head is located and where the glass bottom boats launch from.

2. 2

   Silver Springs River

   Pass by

   We will paddle through one of the wider sections of the Silver Springs River. This is one of the main areas the manatees like to hang out and a great spot to observe and take photos of the manatees!
