Although Ichetucknee and Rainbow get all the fame I consider Silver by
far the best of the three.

Been a couple of years since I last took my Whaler right "downtown",
where the glass-bottom boats cruise and then back out to where the
snorkel/dive area starts (+- 1/2) from the main spring area). So another
trip is in order. A pontoon boat is really the way to do this river and
the local dive shops can hook you up with charters.

Maybe 4 miles back to launch ramp with a 2/3 knot current so its an easy
drift back.

One of the few swee****er spots I've ever had my boat.

Although I am a native and have canoed almost all the rivers of N. FL,
I have never been to Silver Springs.
