Silver Springs "Monkey Run"

🚤 **Departure Point**
Start your journey at **Lake Eustis Boat Launch** (2030 W Burleigh Blvd, Tavares, FL 32778). It’s a well-rated ramp with easy access to the Harris Chain of Lakes. Make sure your gear’s dialed in and your Sea-Doo or Jet Ski is fueled up for the run.

🗺️ **Route Overview**
From Lake Eustis, you’ll head northeast through the interconnected lakes and rivers, eventually linking up with the Ocklawaha River. The ride to **Silver Springs State Park** is roughly 30–40 miles one way depending on your exact route, so plan for fuel stops or bring extra if needed.

🐒 **Destination Highlights**
At **Silver Springs State Park**, you’ll cruise into one of Florida’s most iconic spring-fed rivers. Keep an eye out for the famous wild rhesus macaque monkeys that live along the banks—they’re known to hang near the Silver River. Once you arrive, anchor up and take a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear water. The springs stay around 72°F year-round.
