Silver River
Seven artesian springs feed the bulk of the ten-mile Silver River
which flows into Ocklawaha River, the St. Johns River and eventually
to the Atlantic Ocean. The largest of the springs, Mammoth Springs,
pumps 550 million gallons of water from its source every 24 hours
keeping the river at a 74 degree temperature. The 99.8 percent pure
springs harbors a wide assortment of underwater life including
alligators, turtles, gar fish, mullet and largemouth bass, while
nurturing the ecosystem along the river banks.
