Silver River Ray Wayside Park Launch
This video is about the upstream paddle up Silver River to Silver Springs Park. This paddle is not for the weak at heart. A very strenuous paddle upstream but down stream is a dream.
Canoe w/monkeys: Silver Springs SP to Rays Wayside (Ocala, FL)
Jan 2016 - This was a 5 mile float on the Silver River, near Ocala, FL. We were there attending Hangcon 2016, where a group of hammockers gather in Ocala, NF.
We parked a car at the launch in Silver Springs State park, and planned to take out at Ray's Wayside, miles downriver. I was winging it on how to get back to my car (5 mile road walk??).
The river is spring feed and is amazing. The scenary and wildlife are simply amazing.
The river also has a colony of monkeys free ranging in the trees. It was pretty fun to see them.
When we exited the river, some other boaters finished at the same time, and I got a ride with Stormcrow, Dutch & Fronkey back to my car. Sweet!

Exploring the Silver River and Silver Springs State Park
Kayaking the Silver Springs run, from Ray Wayside Park to the headspring of the Silver River, east of Ocala, FL. The first two miles are strenuous because of the strong current and shallow water, but the last three miles are easier due to deeper water and a weaker current. Footage taken with a Canon PowerShot SD1200 IS in a Canon waterproof housing. Kayak is a Hobie Revolution with Mirage Drive.

9 September 2015
Boasting 4,667 acres of unique Florida ecosystems, 5.4 miles of crystal clear undeveloped river, two engaging education centers, and a variety of events and programs Silver Springs State Park offers an unforgettable experience for every visitor.
The park is comprised of three locations. The Main Entrance is home to the glass bottom boat tours, Wild Waters Water Park, restaurants, canoe & kayak launch, historical gardens, education center and Ranger programs & tours. They also have special events and weddings available. A separate entrance off SR 35 leads to the park campground which consists of hiking & bicycle trails, the Silver River Museum, picnic pavillions, canoe & kayak launch and wildlife viewing. The campground is also home to nice spacious campsites with picnic tables and firerings as well as full service cabins. Another separate entrance is designated as the Equestrian Entrance with over 15 miles of trails and rental horses.
Our glass bottom boat ride quide was Captain Chris who appears to really know his park history and greatly enjoys his job. His narrative along the way was most interesting and he made the tour very enjoyable. We had signed up for the 30 minute tour but would come back for the 90 minute tour should we be in the area again.
