Silver Springs State Park boasts a scenic walkway along the river from Mammoth Deck to Sea Hunt Deck. Unfortunately, sections of the Spring Run walkway have become lifted by the trees that support our shoreline. We want a way to allow everyone, of whatever ability, to safely enjoy the serenity of the river, to take in its beauty and surrounding landmarks and abundant wildlife. So, Park Manager Sally Lieb and her staff have requested a “Raised Walkway for the Spring Run", in essence, a land bridge that would circumvent the damaged sections permitting visitors in strollers, scooters, wheel chairs to safely navigate the terrain. And, it would even allow our wild critters to move safely under the bridge to the river.

And, (drumroll please!) with your generous help and a few major donations, we have raised the necessary funds! In fact, a check has been issued to the company that will design and construct the land bridge. So stay tuned for the great reveal! Our Raised Walkway for the Spring Run is coming your way soon! 

This is how sections of the walkway look right now:
