Salt Springs State Park, Ocala ... Glass-bottom Boats (Springfest 2020)

These statues remain from props from the old TV series 'I Spy' starring Robert Culp and Bill Cosby. Too heavy and too much trouble to retrieve them. There were also Tarzan movies made here. In fact, in the 1930s, Hollywood discovered Silver Springs and over the years, scenes from at least 20 movies were filmed here, including Rebel Without a Cause starring James Dean, Distant Drums starring Gary Cooper, the James Bond movie Moonraker, Creature from the Black Lagoon, and six Tarzan flicks.


And of course, there was the Gator .....
