It’s the perfect place to enjoy swimming, snorkeling, tubing, canoeing, kayaking, and paddleboarding.

KP Hole Park is also on the spring-fed Rainbow River. The crystal-clear waters are the perfect place for snorkeling, tubing, canoeing, diving, and boating.

portable toilets, picnic tables and parking. During the summer months, Silver Glen Springs receives a high volume of visitors and life jackets or flottion devices are highly recommended for less experienced swimmers. Boats are not allowed in the swimming and snorkeling area.

5. Salt Springs is another popular spring located in the lush, semi-tropical landscape of the Ocala National Forest. This recreational jewel is named after the naturally occurring minerals that rise to the surface from deep natural fissues in the earth, providing a slight salinity not found in other nearby springs. Boats and canoes can be rented at the Salt Springs Marina, or guests with their own canoes and boats can launch using the Marina’s ramp or the gravel ramp located at the back of the recreation area’s campground.

The regulations of the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission apply to freshwater boating and fishing along the Salt Springs un. In addition to boating and fishing be sure to take a dip in the glittering blue-green waters of the Salt Springs basin within clearly marked areas.
