Silver Springs State Park & Manatee Natural Springs, Florida

About this place

Live Stream | Silver Springs State Park & Crystal River Waters, Silver Springs, Florida, USA. Celebrated as Florida's first tourist attraction and one of the largest artesian spring formations in the world, Silver Springs pumps out over 500 million gallons of crystal-clear 72-degree freshwater daily. The camera captures wild Florida manatees—the gentle "sea cows"—grazing peacefully on lush underwater meadows alongside river otters, turtles, and wading egrets. Hop aboard the park's historic glass-bottom boats to peer deep into sunken limestone caverns, then dine at Springside Restaurant overlooking the water, or visit Mojo Grill in nearby Ocala for Cuban mojo pork and hand-breaded catfish.
