Question 1

What should I bring?

Please bring water, lunch/snacks, sunglasses, a hat, towel, and different layers of clothes since the weather here in Florida fluctuates.

A canoe or kayak, PFD, paddles, and a guide.

Question 3

Can we swim?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately Silver Springs State Park does not allow swimming in the spring run.

Question 4

Should I be worried about alligators?

No, while there are a lot of gators in the Silver River, they are not very active when the weather gets cold. Below 70 degrees Fahrenheit they stop eating, and below 55 degrees they go into a state of dormancy called brumation.
