The St. Johns River was Florida's first tourist attraction. Although the steamboats that plied its waters in the 1800s have disappeared, the beauty and mystique of the river remain. Opportunities for recreation abound. St. Johns River and Lake George are known best as the Bass Capital, however, the river offers so much more. Ocala National Forest is across the river, as is the Ocklawaha River, a pristine environment that takes you back in time and also gives you your best chance to see an alligator. Take your boat out and explore, or take a guided nature tour, it is an opportunity not to be missed.

Silver Glen Springs and Salt Springs are located off Lake George and are a great day trip by boat. You can also take the oldest operating ferry in Florida across the river just south of us. From there you have a seven mile drive thorugh the Ocala National Forest on a dirt road into the quaint town of Salt Springs (and the Spring itself). Heading south you'll come to Juniper Springs and Run (excellent canoeing and kayaking) and Silver Glen Springs. Being in the Ocala National Forest, you'll also have access to many trails as such as the Florida Trail which, when completed, will extend from the southern tip of Florida into the panhandle. Hiking trails in the Welaka Forest provide an up close way to see nature and allow you access to a secret spring !

Of course, for many fishing from the dock or their boat, watching the stars at night and the breathtaking sunsets will provide all the entertainment desired.
