Salt Springs Recreation Area

In the northern part of the Ocala National Forest, Salt Springs Recreation Area is considered one of the national forest's jewels. The area offers a lush, semi-tropical environment and a natural spring. The presence of potassium, magnesium and sodium salts give the waters in the spring a slight salinity. Hence the name Salt Springs.

Canoe rentals are available at the Salt Springs Marina.

Water fountains and flush toilets are available.

Policies and fees are subject to change. For more information on the Ocala National Forest pet policy please call the Lake George District Ranger Office at 352-625-2520.
