Silver Springs

Since we waited too long to make a reservation for the glass bottom boat ride, we ended up paddling the Silver River in the morning then taking the 90 minutes glass bottom boat in the afternoon.

The paddle down the river was great as always.  We paddled 5 miles downstream in rented kayaks then were picked up at Ray Wayside and transported back to the park.


The glass bottom boat ride was good too, but not as neat as the paddle.  It was nice to be able to look down into all the springs.
