Quick Take

On the way to Tallahassee, we made a quick stop at Silver Springs State Park. Silver Springs has been drawing visitors since the late 1800s and is best known for its glass-bottom boats and remarkably clear spring water. It officially became a Florida state park in 1987, but its history as a tourist attraction goes back much further.
