Silver Springs State Park offers 5,000 acres of outdoor fun. Explore the river on a kayak or canoe, or go hiking and biking on 14 miles of multi-use trails. Keep an eye out for wildlife including frogs, tortoise, white-tail deer, wild turkeys, and of course many species of birds. Visit The Silver River Museum and Environmental Education Center, which offers a look into the park’s past, including pioneer settlement buildings and exhibits highlighting local wildlife, vegetation, geology, and human inhabitants dating back thousands of years! Admission to the museum is $2 per person. The museum is usually only accessible to the public on weekends and holidays, so call before you arrive to make sure its open.
