"Women in Tears - Sweetheart Gathering"
February 3rd - 6th, 2011
Silver River State Park in Ocala, FL.
This is our 3rd Annual event! Everyone is welcome to join us - guys and gals, family and friends, pets!
I personally have never camped here but a friend of mine said he camps there a lot and its a very nice park with upgraded bath houses.
Many bike and walking trails to enjoy and there are some old Florida Cracker homes to visit. They have monthly tours but the dates for that haven't been posted yet.
There is also canoeing/kayaking in the river/springs to do, so bring your boat if you have one. They also rent canoes.
From the Silver River SP website:
Canoeing & Kayaking -
"The Silver River is one of the most beautiful and peaceful rivers you will ever paddle. With two launching points, it is up to you how much of a work out you will get from your ride. The most popular launching point is from Rays Wayside Boat Basin at the western foot of the Ocklawaha bridge on State highway 40. The other option is to launch from the end of our River Trail. This does require you to carry your vessel .6 miles from the parking lot to the river. We have canoe rentals available from the park. You will pick up your paddles and life vests at the Ranger Station, drive down to the River Trail, walk .6 mile to the launching area where you can pick up your canoe. Rentals are $5.00 per hour on a first come first served basis. Pets are not permitted in the canoes."
I plan on bringing a cornhole game, a dart board, and possibly horseshores. If you have any music abilities, please bring your instruments.
When the date gets closer, we'll start planning our pot-luck and any activites you may want to do.
