Silver Springs State Park, State park in Marion County, United States.
Silver Springs State Park contains the largest artesian spring formation in the United States, with water flowing at a rate of 550 million gallons daily.
The springs have drawn visitors since the 1820s, when steamboats transported tourists to witness the natural spring formations and underwater limestone features.
The Silver River Museum and Environmental Education Center preserves local artifacts and presents educational programs about Florida's natural and human history.
The park features two separate entrances: the main gate for springs access and glass bottom boats, and the camping entrance for overnight stays.
Glass bottom boat tours allow visitors to observe ancient limestone formations, native fish species, and submerged artifacts through transparent floor panels.
