Silver Glen Springs - Orlando Hotels .com

Recently acquired by the Ocala National Forest, Silver Glen Springs is slowing being allowed to revert to its natural state. First magnitude springs; 65 million gallons of water are pumped daily creating a large boil on the surface. Only one-half mile from Lake George, boaters particularly enjoy the area. Schools of striped bass and African tilapia are found in abundance, making the spring a favorite among snorkelers.
