2 March 2023, Southern Camping Trip Day 56

Salt Springs Recreation Campground

Ocala National Forest, Florida 


A day spent at Salt Springs.

Marc-  Our last day here in the wilderness of central Florida for tomorrow we are off to Jeckyll Island, Georgia.  We roamed the Bear trail and the Yearling trail and went down to the Salt Spring itself. 


Portion of Salt Spring (the water is incredibly clear).

Mullet fish swimming in the Spring (Mullet are normally found only in salt water but the mineral composition in the water here suits them).


Young mullet fish.


A trail based on the historical source of the Rawlings novel, The Yearling.
