Review & FAQ:
The Salt Springs Recreation Area can be found within the northern portion of the Ocala National Forest near Fort McCoy, Florida. Considered one of the gems of the national forest, this recreation area features a natural spring and a semi-tropical, lush environment. The springs get their name “Salt Springs” from the slight salinity of the water caused by the presence of sodium, magnesium, and potassium. The Salt Springs Recreation Area also includes a marina and boat ramp for access to Lake George, the state’s second largest lake, as well as picnic areas and a large campground with RV hookups.
