Florida gets its hype from theme parks, gorgeous beaches, electric cities, but if you dig a little, Central Florida has some hidden gems that most people don’t know about. Florida’s natural springs and river systems are some of the most gorgeous places to see in this state. One of which is Ocala Florida’s Silver Springs and Silver River, in Marion County, Florida. We took the paddle boards out one sunny Saturday to see what this place had to offer and it did not disappoint!
