Mike reviews this quiet park located in Ocala, Florida. Filmed with a ZCam Cinema Camera. Tucked between residential and business areas across from Silver River State Park, Silver Springs Conservation Park is a slice of sandhills and scrub, and a crucial upland recharge area for the nearby first-magnitude spring. As rain falls, it percolates into the aquifer to flow through limestone and emerge from the spring vents in the Silver River.

Two stacked loop trails (with a cross-trail on the upper loop) provide options for hiking, using a combination of new trails and old forest roads. There are benches at most intersections, and a picnic bench at a beauty spot under ancient live oaks. Take an early morning walk, hear the birdsong, and enjoy the colors of the sandhills.
