We were on a houseboat from st.johns river. Took us 4 hrs. To get there. Hit violent storms cruising across lake George. Bad experience,not finding the markers. Only stayed overbite but did enjoy the clear waters. Tight anchoring area,know what u r doing.

Beautiful Spring to visit. The waters are probably the cleanest out of all central florida springs, less grass, more sand... It's got nice spot for free diving, which is fairy deep. Occasionally there will be fish swimming around which makes snorkeling more fun. It's clean and very spacey. The only down side is employees are very inconsiderate and not friendly, so stick to guidelines strictly or they will ruin all the fun for you.

My husband and I drove from St Augustine to spend some time at Silver Glen Springs. What a beautiful place! We opted to rent a canoe and go investigate the area and were very glad we did. We saw lots of fish, herons, turtles, osprey and even heard quite a few gators. It was like "Florida of old". After a nice canoe trip, we went back to the springs and took the dive. The water will take your breath away at first, but you quickly get used to it...or go numb. :) It is an incredibly beautiful place. The staff were great and very helpful. The only negative thing were the port o potties...as they were nasty! Other than that....it was a trip well worth taking.

Makes you thankful to be a Floridian. This was a lot of fun. We enjoyed the swimming and trails. Only downfall is portapotty which employee told us was due to it being an archaeological site so no digging allowed.

My husband and I enjoyed our visit to the springs. We went during the week and found it to be somewhat crowded. Might be better when kids are back in school. Water is chilly! We snorkeled but found the fish a little bit disappointing as they were pretty dull in appearance. Glad I went but don't think I'll return. Took a 30 minute walk through Alexander Springs nearby and found that to be better and will check that out our next visit.

Stunning scenery. Crystal clear water and spotted a couple of manatee there.Mid week was serene and quiet.

This has got to be one of the most memorable natural experiences I've ever had. Boating into the spring, the water goes from the caramel waters of the river to the clearest water you could possibly imagine. The waters are refreshing and great for wading and swimming. The constant current from the spring gives a little bit of exercise even when just treading water, but not too much to be a problem. Be sure to come with goggles to see the spring area underwater!

It's a great day boat trip. Nothing to do up on land. Beautiful spring, I've been going since I was a kid and I love it there.

In past years, my wife and myself had a hobby we chose to call "spring hopping". We already enjoyed snorkeling in the Keys and in the Bahamas, so we decided to investigate fresh water springs. Though the 73 degrees year round water was chilly at first, it's crystal clear waters are exhilarating. In this part of Florida there are many springs, but Silver Glen is my favorite because it is like a paradise lagoon around the size of an Olympic swimming pool, but shallow enough to comfortably free dive to the bottom 20 feet-ish. For families, the edges are toddler shallow and safe. If you like to see fish, though they aren't tropically colored, there are schools of large striped bass(20-40) at your finger tips. Though it's more peaceful during the week, especially avoid the holiday weekends where people bring their boats to the channel there leading to Lake George, tie them together like (spring break) which is great if you like to party. One example of how nice the water is, the water that gets in your mask doesn't burn your nose, actually you could drink it and some of the pics I've taken with disposable underwater cameras are so clear you can't tell they even under water! The whole family can get in for less than $20 since it's a state park. Not only is it nice for the family, we've been there many times as just a couple which was equally enjoyable. Needless to say it's one of our favorite places!

Such a tranquil setting. Crystal clear water which is freezing cold but most refreshing during the hot Florida sunshine. BBQ area very clean with picnic tables available. Have visited this beautiful place 5 times and it is never very busy. Didn't see as many fish during this years visit. Really worth a visit. There is a little shop which sells sweets, crisps, drinks and inflatables. Admission is 4 dollars for the day.
