Spent a lot of time their back in highschool. It used to be filled with rocks from all the years of divers so a friend of mine Went down into the hole and pulled out all of the large rocks it definitely helped the color. You’re welcome.
Great story! Check out our new episode that just came out to see where this spring ranks! Our Brand New "Top 10 Springs in Florida" is right here..th-cam.com/video/xenBkPpv87Q/w-d-xo.html
Have always had a great time there, went yesterday and there were hundreds of large striped bass near the hole and around it, it was amazing to swim through them and look at how big some of them were.
Map is a good component of the video. Great video. Comments on seasonal considerations of the location are helpful, and what season the video was shot. If you can stick the lonk to the park website in the description, that would be cool. Thanks for putting these together, my family has visited a few of these, based on your videos when traveling to FL!
I moved to Ocala in the 80s and found the Glen by just getting out and exploring. It's nice to see it hasn't changed in all this time. I wonder if the old dugout canoe is still there lodged in ground. Btw, one of the nature trails has a bunch of sand boils you could stand in like quicksand. And it's possible to find old shark's teeth if you sift through it.
Good grief, that looks amazing!! Love the drone footage, great information. We'll need to add this to the list for when we eventually make it down to FL.
It is also a historical Indian site. So that’s really exciting. I don’t know if you noticed that when you were there or not? But that’s why they don’t have showers or installed toilets plumbing. Because they can’t by law lol!
Gators are all over Florida, but I have never seen one near the spring-head itself, they usually are up river where its warmer, also, there is a lot of swimmer and kayak traffic, they usually stay clear of that!! It's a beautiful place to go!
We gave up flying the drone awhile ago, just became a hassle figuring out where to fly. You definitely cant fly at a state park, however some county parks allow it in certain areas. You just have to check each location and a lot could have changed by now! Thanks for checking out our channel!!
Salt springs is the closest camping to Silver Glen springs. You should load up supplies before going out there as there are very few places to stop and load up on.
My experience has been that gators usually stay up river where it is warmer and no swimmers are present. Ive never seen one around the main spring area and I have filmed about 15 springs now.
You think it's pretty now? You should have seen it 30 years ago, when it was pristine, and the springs were so clean, you could see the water bubbling up from the sand. Back when it was privately owned and the government didn't screw everything up. There is only one privately owned Spring left in Florida now, Ginnie Springs. A place where you can still go camping. Have an ACTUAL camp fire, like on the actual ground. You can also bring as much alcohol as you want. Can you say that about ANY other spring???? NOPE. you cant...

This water looks SO amazing! The clarity and color - just unbelievable. Thanks for sharing this cool spot 😎
TY for watching, this was a pleasant surprise for us, I didn't realize how beautiful the water was!!
yes, go there it's a fun swim.
its not this clear anymore. too much grey water dumpage from the party boats & fools that infest this beauty. went yesterday. ruined.
Great tour, We love Silver Glen and we always visit when we camp at Salt Springs. Have a great weekend.
Thank You! Glad you enjoy the springs in that area, so beautiful aren't they?

So cool, I wish they had been there on our trip, but going back in the fall so maybe we will see them

Great info Randy, thank you! We have filmed like 14 Florida Springs now, and I think the water at Silver Glen is my fav, its so crazy clear!!
Silver Glen is one of my favorites. Gets packed though during the summer, especially with all the boats. Locals call it "the glen".
I love it, The Glen, I will use that from now on! TY for your insights!
That's one reason why I'm heading there late in the fall, when it's less crowded.
Beautiful aerial shots. I'm definitely going here when I can. Thanks!
Thanks so much! Enjoying your episodes as well!
Wow!! That is just beautiful!! Thank you for sharing! Safe travels.
Thank You so much!

Glad you enjoyed it, welcome to our channel! TY for stopping by!!
Wow! Looks amazing! Can't wait to dive in!
Silver Glen is one of my personal favs!

Some of the most beautiful drone footage I've seen!
Thank You so much!!
Loved your video great way to relax after a long day thanks
Hey so glad you enjoyed it!! We loved this spring!!
Beautiful place! Definitely got to visit
You will love it! Put it on your list!
Looks great, haven't heard of that one either.
Thanks for watching!!!
I live in Orlando and didn’t even know about it 😂 Once quarantine is over I’m going there for sure!!
It is a beautiful spring!
I should go there later this fall. It looks spectacular.
Its beautiful there!! Great for swimming!!
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!!
Gorgeous!
This one is so incredible for swimming in!!
It is also a historical Indian site. So that’s really exciting. I don’t know if you noticed that when you were there or not? But that’s why they don’t have showers or installed toilets plumbing. Because they can’t by law lol!
No I didn't notice that, interesting
Great video!!!
It is one of the most beautiful springs we have filmed!!
Do you need special permission to fly a drone ? Thanks for the video!
I don't believe so, but we have stopped flying the drone, so I would always check with any location first.
It’s lovely!
Are there gators 🐊 in this water?
Gators are all over Florida, but I have never seen one near the spring-head itself, they usually are up river where its warmer, also, there is a lot of swimmer and kayak traffic, they usually stay clear of that!! It's a beautiful place to go!

Thanks 😁
great visual and info, have watched all of your spring videos! a quick question - do you have to get a permit to fly at the springs?
We gave up flying the drone awhile ago, just became a hassle figuring out where to fly. You definitely cant fly at a state park, however some county parks allow it in certain areas. You just have to check each location and a lot could have changed by now! Thanks for checking out our channel!!
@@CampTravelExplore great to know! appreciated!
Beautiful!
This spring is incredible to swim in!!
@@CampTravelExplore looks perfect! Now to find a nice rv park to stay! 🤗
I'm Brazilian. It reminds me a lot of a place in Brazil called Bonito, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. Check it out.
hi, so beautiful, do you know wher can i stay there, have some place to buy food......thanks
Salt springs is the closest camping to Silver Glen springs. You should load up supplies before going out there as there are very few places to stop and load up on.
Im moving here soon 💞
It is a beautiful spring area!! Enjoy!
QUESTION: Are there ever any alligators in this or any other Florida spring??
My experience has been that gators usually stay up river where it is warmer and no swimmers are present. Ive never seen one around the main spring area and I have filmed about 15 springs now.
@@CampTravelExplore Whew! Ok, good to know. Thank you!
Does anyone know if the kayaks are expensive or limited to rent here at Silver Springs?
Most kayak rentals are 35-45 dollars by our experience.
@@CampTravelExplore Thank you for the reply. Is the rental for the day or per hour?
By the day I believe
@@CampTravelExplore Thank you so much!
can kids play on this water ? safe ?
I would say this is a great spring to take kids for swimming!!
For the Adventurer there is plenty of dispersed primitive camping in Forest.
Great insight, thank you!!
Can u camp there?
They do not have a campground at Silver Glen, but Salt Springs is like 10-15 minutes away and has a campground!
2:35 placo catfish
Thanks for watching!!
Are you sure there are no alligators on that place, bro?....:))
We have found that gators stay up river where it's warmer, at least that is our experience after filming 15 springs :)

I'll bet! We loved it though, it was an incredible experience!!
@@CampTravelExplore I had some of my best childhood memories there.✌
