With Florida's mild temperatures, one can enjoy the scenery of Ocala's Natural Forest all year round. Whether it is hiking along the trails, fishing or water skiing, Ocala Natural Forest has something for everyone. Cool and refreshing waters come from the mixing of Juniper, Alexander, Salt and Silver Glen Springs, and with the cavernous terrain of the springs, snorkelers can enjoy the fish and underwater vegetation.
