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.

The formal gardens are the centerpiece of our park, with remarkable displays of native and non-native plant species including azaleas, camellias and bird of paradise. Washington Oaks is also famous for the unique shoreline of coquina rock formations along its Atlantic beach.
