Come join us on one of Florida’s prettiest rivers as we paddle on the Silver River in the Ocala National Forest. This is a group favorite as it’s an easy, down river paddle, with beautiful, nearly untouched surroundings for most of the paddle.We’ll be on the lookout for monkeys, manatees, gators, and other amazing FL wildlife while we navigate the turquoise waters of the headspring then float down through the Ocala National Forest for 5.5 miles before getting out at Ray’s Wayside Park.
Launch and park fees at Silver Springs are $6 ($4 launch fee and $2 admission fee).

Plan on a 4-5 hour leisurely float so sunscreen, snacks, and lunch are recommended. Please DO NOT FEED the monkeys!! This is incredibly dangerous to you, others in the group, and the monkeys as well.
Can't wait to see you there!
