Find a Park

One of America’s largest springs is protected within Silver Springs State Park, and visitors can explore the area's natural beauty by boat, foot or horseback. Glass bottom boats were invented here and still provide an ideal vantage point for enjoying the natural beauty of this first-magnitude spring.

Two ancient ravines carved by a spring-fed creek have been transformed into a rustic tropical garden. The park has two ravines up to 120 feet deep with steep banks at 45-degree angles.

From wading in the crystalline headwaters to canoeing, kayaking and tubing down river, visitors at Rainbow Springs enjoy a priceless jewel in the Florida park system.
