While "practicing" for our now RV Living Full time Life, in Dec. 2019 - Jan. 2020, we visited Silver Springs State Park in Central Florida, Florida's first tourist attraction, located along the Silver River. We stayed at the state park campgrounds for a week (see link below for campground tour video), and visited the attached park several times, walked the trails, road the Glass Bottom Boat, rented a canoe, saw gators, turtles, birds and a Manatee! Did we see a Rhesus Monkey?

Besides, shopping at the Gift Center for my Florida State Park Passport book, eating a delicious chicken Cesar wrap at their restaurant, learning all about the history of the springs, including what was filmed here, we road the Famous Glass Bottom Boats, walked some trails, and rented a canoe- my favorite- along the Silver River. Gators of course, even baby gators, turtles, birds, and a Manatee- the highlight. Maybe you will see Rhesus Monkeys.
We hope you can spend more than a day here- there is so much to see and do.
"Silver Springs State Park, formerly known as Silver River State Park, is a Florida State Park located on the Silver River in Marion County. The park contains Silver Springs, Florida's first tourist attraction.
The Silver Springs attraction dates to the 1870s. In 1985 the state purchased the land surrounding Silver Springs to spare it from development, creating the Silver River State Park. In 1993 the state acquired Silver Springs as well, though it continued to be operated privately. In 2013 the state took over control of Silver Springs, merging it with the adjacent parkland to create Silver Springs State Park.
Glass-bottom boats are located within the park and are based at the site of the former Silver Springs Nature Theme Park.
Other activities include bicycling, canoeing, kayaking, camping, and wildlife viewing. Amenities include a museum and an environmental center that are open on weekends and major holidays. The park has 15 miles (24 km) of trails, access to the Silver River, ten luxury cabins, and a 59 site, full facility campground"

We are a married couple in our mid 50s who downsized and sold our house so we can see the sights and enjoy every day to live deliberately as full time RVers - traveling with our dogs, Scrappy & Chewie, in our Grand Design Solitude 310 GK fifth wheel.
