Silver Glen right off of Lake George. Been going there for a while now. On a good day there is hundreds of boats in there. It is a blast, lots of great people, just anchor up and walk around. Do a little BBQing, spend the night, constant water temp at 72 degrees.

The Division of Forestry is trying to ban boats up in there now. Siting manattee concerns. However, by their own admission, there are very few manattees that ever go in there. You see wounded manatees seeking refuge once in a while and an occasional stray, but in all the years I have been going there I have never seen even one. We are fighting it.

I dont usually do this but this is important to all boaters because if we dont stop them they will ban boating from all the great spots. Check this out if you are interested in helping the cause. http://silverglen.2sdaze.com/

I have been wanting to go there for quite a while. I live in Melbourne. What would be the best place to put in and motor up to the spring. Also any good camping (RV) along the river that would be convienent to boating. I have camp at many of the springs in Ocala and have visited silver glen before but would be nice to stay on the river with a place that had a boat ramp or dockage. Thanks.
