Silver River is a popular park, and we just barely managed to get a site upon our early-morning arrival. We were assigned site 29, a nice site with a mix of sun and shade.
Date of visit: Feb 2008 |
 |
Site 18 is typical of the pull-through sites. Most sites offer this pleasant setting of sun and shade. |
 |
Sites are really spacious and private - this is site 8. |
 |
Site 21 is large back-in site. |
 |
If you're traveling with friends or family, you might enjoy sites 40-41, a large double site. |
 |
One of the sunniest sites is 54. |
 |
Site 47 is another large, sunny pull-through site. |
 |
There are two modern bathhouses featuring clean, hot showers and laundry facilities. A nice touch in the shower stalls were infra-red heat lamps in the ceiling. |
 |
We enjoyed several walks on the several miles of trails in the park. Trails are wide and smooth. This is the 1.2 mile River Trail. |
 |
Needless to say, the River Trail passes along the Silver River. |
 |
Lots of birdlife can be found in the park - water birds along the river and other birds inland. |
 |
In the early 1920'a glass-bottomed boats such as this carried passengers along the crystal-clear Silver River. This one was found along the river bank about 40 years ago and restored. |
 |
A feature of the museum is a replica of a colonial Florida cracker village. |
 |
The 2.1-mile Sinkhole Trail covers a variety of landscape, including a large sinkhole. |
 |
A rufous-sided towhee sits in a tree along the Sinkhole Trail. |
 |
The park includes a day-use area near the museum with a playground and three picnic pavilions. |
 |
If you don't want to rough it in the campground, you can rent one of ten cabins in the park. |
