Fort King Historic Landmark - Ocala, Florida, USA
If you visit Silver Springs State Park in Ocala, FL, make sure you go on one of the famous glass bottom boat tours. We took one and were lucky enough to have our boat pass right over two friendly manatees. #florida #silversprings #manatee
One of the famous glass bottom boats in Silver Springs State Park (Ocala, FL) floats by on the crystal clear water of the Silver River. If you visit Silver Springs, you must take one of these boat rides. In addition to seeing the underwater springs, we also saw manatees, alligators, turtles, monkeys, and birds on our 90 minute tour. #silversprings #florida

An older hotel that has been given an overhaul and a new lease on life. Very well done and clean, a nice courtyard with pool and fireplace for chilly nights. We only stayed 1 night but would definitely recommend. Room was clean and staff were kind and efficient.
