Silver Springs

Ocala's aquatic park

Silver Springs is a place name for several American locations, most notably a group of artesian springs in central Florida that form one of the largest freshwater springs in the world.

The Florida site has long been a tourist attraction.

Silver Springs also names communities in Maryland, Nevada, and elsewhere.

Fleetwood Mac's 1977 song "Silver Springs" references the Maryland town.
