40 Fathom Grotto

Provided by: Howard Johnson Inn Ocala

View Service

Details:

The 40 Fathom Grotto is a premier Commercial Diving Academy located in Ocala, Florida. This stunningly beautiful, natural sinkhole is the only place in the eastern United States where you can dive over 200 feet below the water’s surface while still remaining in open water. The significant depth and breadth of this feature has made it world famous as one of the best dive training centers on the planet.
The underground river that feeds the grotto provides a constant supply of clean, clear water, perfect for diving. Water in the grotto is about 72 degrees Fahrenheit at the surface and 68 degrees at depth. The sheltered nature of the grotto means that waters are largely unaffected by wind, waves, tides, or currents and therefore allow for perfect diving conditions year-round. Furthermore, man made structures, such as docks and walkways, enhance the grotto and allow for comfortable access into the sinkhole.
Special bubbler vents aerate the water at the dive site to clear away duckweed and other surface debris. Once submerged, descend through this freshwater paradise to explore Pleistocene-era marine fossils over 30 million years old, present in the limestone walls of the grotto. Once you reach the bottom of the sinkhole, you will encounter fun artifacts like antique cars, an abandoned airplane, and sunken boat wrecks.
The 40 Fathom Grotto works with both experienced, certified divers and guides but also offers dive training programs for new divers. The training can be completed in as little as two days at the grotto provided you complete online training in advance of your visit to the grotto.
40 Fathom Grotto provides a full-service experience and has parking, changing and restroom facilities on-site. Additionally, a dive store provides state-of-the-art dive equipment for purchase. Tank refills are available and include Air, Nitrox, Oxygen, Helium, Trimix, and custom blends.

Wild Bill’s Air Boat Tours

Provided by: Sleep Inn & Suites

View Service

Details:

While Florida is known for its sandy beaches and tropical sunsets, it is home to a much more diverse natural landscape. With lush wetlands, winding rivers and forests, exploring the wilderness of Central Florida is a treat for any nature enthusiast. One of the best ways to discover this natural beauty is to take an airboat into the heart of it all.

Wild Bill’s Airboat Tours takes guests on a high-speed airboat ride down the Withlacoochee River and deep into the swamplands that conceal the native wildlife of Florida. For those who have never been on an airboat before; it is a truly unique experience, and Florida, with all of its swamps and wetlands, is the perfect place to take on the adventure.
The airboat is the perfect way to navigate through the shallow waters where guests will find an abundance of wildlife including the one-of-a-kind Florida Alligator. Tours can be arranged for single passengers and groups, and with U.S. Coast Guard approval, you can rest assured that you and your family will be safe and well taken care of.
Wild Bill’s Airboat Tours provide guests with a closer look into the real Florida. For an adventurous, outdoor afternoon, there is nothing we, at the Sleep Inn and Suites Ocala, recommend more.

Salt Springs Recreation Area

13851 Hwy 19N Ft. McCoy,FL,32134
Phone: 352-685-2048

A favorite spot in the Ocala National Forest is the Salt Springs Recreation Area with its constant 74° Fahrenheit waters gushing from vertical fissures from deep within the earth. Believing that the springs provide medicinal healing powers, many people flock to this area to swim and be one with nature. The Salt Springs derived its name from the fact that the spring has trace quantities of potassium, magnesium and sodium salts that give the waters a slight salinity. Other activities in this recreation area include boating, snorkeling, camping, nature watching and fishing.

The Salt Spring flows from an underground aquifer, down a short river path and into Lake George, the second largest lake in the state of Florida. Canoe rentals are available at the Slat Springs Recreation Area Marina and you can travel along the path of the spring and observe Florida’s lush tropical foliage. A simple boat ramp is also available at the recreation area.

Ample camping is available at the Slat Springs Recreation with 160 spots available including both RV spots with hook ups and also simple spots for tent camping. Picnic tables, drinking water and restroom facilities are available in these camping areas. You can even make reservations for camping spots online by clicking here, or you can pamper yourself at our hotel with a heated pool, jacuzzi suite, complimentary breakfast, and wireless internet before spending the day in the forest.

There is no better way to cool off from the heat of the hot summer sun than taking a dip into one of Florida’s waterways, and the Rainbow River, fed by the sparkling clear, cold waters of Rainbow Springs, is one of the best places to do so. There are two parks available for guests looking to access the river: K.P. Hole County Park and Rainbow Springs State Park.

Both parks have picnic areas, fully accessible bathrooms, and swimming, tubing, kayaking, canoeing and diving. There are some differences between the two parks that are important to note depending on what you want to do. If you are interested in tubing down the river, the K.P. Hole Park offers a longer ride, but to see the headwaters where the spring formations are you have to visit Rainbow Springs State Park.
Either park you choose to enter, the Rainbow River is truly spectacular. The springs pump out 72 degree, crystal-clear water all year long and produce sparkling clarity throughout the 5.6-mile long river. With underwater visibility of over 150 feet, guests can view a variety of underwater creatures and plants, including a vast array of fish species and turtles.
Not surprisingly, archeological evidence suggests that people have been visiting these spring waters for almost 10,000 years. This is the real Florida, and this is one thing you don’t want to miss during your stay in beautiful Marion County.

There are many retirement communities in Florida, but only one is so exceptional that it has been named “Florida’s Friendliest Hometown”. When the founder of The Villages, Harold S. Schwartz, came up with the idea for The Villages over 50 years ago, he didn’t want to create just another average retirement center. By committing to the happiness and comfort of each resident, Schwartz created something truly special.
While The Villages offers many fabulous residential areas and homes, you do not have to be a resident to enjoy all of the activities and attractions the retirement community has to offer. With two town squares filled with a variety of shops and restaurants, there is plenty to take in. Both town squares, as well as other centers in The Villages community, host nightly entertainment, so there is never a shortage of activities to choose from: plays, musicals, musicians, vintage car shows, arts and crafts and more.
The Villages also hosts many special events including golf tournaments, book signings, polo games, fashion shows, health fairs and parades and festivals. There is literally never a dull moment in this retirement community. One of the appealing activities offered at the retirement community is golfing. With almost 40 executive level and country club style courses, everyone from beginners to professionals can have their turn on the green.
With so much to offer, it is no wonder that The Villages is Florida’s premiere retirement community and attracts guests from all over the world. For a one-stop day full of entertainment and dining, there is nowhere that we, at the Sleep Inn and Suites Ocala-Belleview, recommend more.

Details:

Mountain biking may not be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of activities Central Florida has to offer, but the Santos Bike Trails in Marion County provide a great area for bicycling enthusiasts.
Located on a large section of the Cross Florida Greenway, Santos Bike Trails offer the best mountain biking in the state. With over 30 miles of winding trails, through pine forests and oak hammocks, visitors can spend hours traversing the Central Florida terrain. With three levels of difficulty from beginner to expert, the trails can challenge even the most avid bicyclist. One of the more difficult trails available, which attracts many expert riders, navigates through an old mining quarry.
While the landscape is fairly level, especially for mountain biking, the sandy soil makes even the most modest hill a challenge to climb. The trails can be easily accessed through the Santos Trailhead, which is just off of Highway 441 in Belleview, Florida. At the trailhead is Santos Bike Shop, where guests can purchase gear and refreshments and learn about up coming biking events.
While biking is obviously the main attraction of the Santos Trails, there are also hiking and equestrian trails, as well as a campground with water and electrical hook-ups. Exploring the wild side of Central Florida is one of the best ways to enjoy the area, and a day of exhilarating biking on the Santos Trails is a great way to do so.
If you are visiting the trail and need to rent a bike, repair a bike, purchase cycling accessories, or get info on local trails and maps, please contact theSantos Trailhead Bike Shop located right off the Santos Trail on highway 441.

Details:

When Dennis and Cindy Thompson stopped to admire Shire Horses while on a business trip in England, they had an encounter that would forever change their lives and the horse breeding industry. After spotting an incredibly beautiful and spectacular-looking black and white horse, the Thompsons had to have a second look.

After discovering the magnificent horse belonged to a nearby caravan of gypsies, the couple entered into a world few have seen. This group of nomadic people was in fact cross-breeding horses to create a truly unique, and spectacular breed now known as Gypsy Vanner Horses. The Thompsons were so inspired by what they encountered they decided to bring their new finding back to America. In fact, that first horse they saw became the first horse bred by gypsies in the world to be recognized as a breed.
Visitors to the Gypsy Gold Farm in beautiful Marion County can see the horse that started it all, Cushti Bok. The stallion was named after the gypsy translation for “good luck”, which says it all. In 1997, Cushti Bok became the first Gypsy Vanner stallion in North America, and the legend began.
The Gypsy Gold Farm is part of an event in equestrian history that is unique to the Marion County area. This is something any horse enthusiast staying at the Sleep Inn and Suites Ocala does not want to miss. Whether you are a breeder, an equestrian or just interested in learning more about an exceptional piece of history and a beautiful breed of animals, the Gypsy Vanner Horses will not disappoint you.

Producing 65 million gallons of pure water every day, Silver Glen Springs is a first magnitude spring having a constant 72 degree water all year round. The mouth of the spring is 200 feet in diameter and the river that flows from the spring flows 3,300 feet into Lake George, the second largest lake in Florida.

Silver Glen Springs is located 6 miles north of highway 40 off of state road 19 along the eastern edge of the Ocala National Forest. The Silver Glen recreation area entrance is directly across from the Yearling Trail trailhead and lies north of the Juniper Wayside area. Our hotel is the nearest lodging to this popular destination and is located right on highway 40.

Snorkeling is one of the most popular activities at Silver Glen Spring. Snorkelers and swimmers can peer down into the gaping underwater limestone fissure that marks the mouth of the spring. The mouth of the spring is typically swarming with fish as they commonly enjoy the temperate waters that flow out of the underwater aquifer. Unfortunately, scuba is not permitted at this spring. Most parts of the spring’s swimming area are 4 feet or less deep and there is a shallow entry area for children. A concession stand is available.

Boating is allowed outside of the swimming area and this rule and others are strictly enforced. Camping is allowed but no hookups are available at this site. If you go to the springs, be aware that they will check your cooler for disposable food and drink containers. These are not allowed. Reusable and Tupperware are allowed however.

Big Daddy Don Garlits Inducted Into the British Drag Racing Hall of Fame

We extend our congratulations to Don Garlits and his family on this wonderful accomplishment. The British Drag Racing Hall of Fame accredits Garlits as the person to put drag racing on the map in Britain. ”By most measures, Don ‘Big Daddy’ Garlits is the greatest and most successful drag racer ever,” said the Hall of Fame. We wholeheartedly agree!
For motor-heads staying in the Ocala area, the Sleep Inn and Suites Ocala hotel may just be the perfect place to be. Drag racing legend “Big Daddy”Don Garlits Museum of Drag Racing is just across the street from the property. The museum is home to over 75 racing cars including hot-rods, muscle cars and more, as well as racing memorabilia and history.
The name Don Garlits is well known by hot-rod fanatics all over the world, and for good reason. With 17 World Championship Titles, Don has made his mark on the drag racing industry. The racing legend has accomplished many feats during his time as the “King of the Dragsters” including winning the National Hot Rod Association, N.H.R.A., Nationals eight times, receiving the title of the number one drag racer in the last 50 years by the N.H.R.A. and branding his own line of record-breaking racecars, the Swamp Rats.
Named to celebrate Don Garlits southern roots, his collection of 34 Swamp Rats has been breaking records since he manufactured the very first one. The racecars have broken an astonishing amount of previously recorded top speeds, being the first automobiles in the N.H.R.A. to go over 170, 180, 200, 240, 250, 260 and 270 mph throughout the years. One of his finest creations, Swamp Rat XXX has been so celebrated in the racing community it is on display at the Smithsonian Museum of American History.
While guests to Don Garlits Museum of Drag Racing cannot view this spectacular piece of machinery, many of the other Swamp Rats are on display as well as other displays of automobile history and innovation. Because of his knowledge and dedication, Don Garlits is the authority on automobiles in the area, and his museum is a must-see for those staying, right next-door, at the Sleep Inn and Suites Ocala-Belleview.

Hawthorne, FL

(352)-481-9463

Nestled in the forests of Central Florida, just a short drive North of Ocala, is the Island Grove Wine Company. This well-kept secret is starting to make some big waves in the wine community. Island Grove is becoming famous for its 100% blueberry wines as well as other specialty fruit wines. These desirable wines are currently carried at Sweetbay grocery stores throughout the state and more distributors are carrying them everyday.

The Island Grove Agricultural Products company began in 1994 as a producer of blueberries for grocery stores. When they had a surplus of berries, the idea formed to start fermenting them into a unique and delicious wine. An expert wine maker, Chase Marden, was brought to the facility to begin the great experiment which would eventually become the Island Grove Wine Company.

Today the Island Grove Wine Company uses berries from over 300 acres of blueberry fields to make their wine. Their broad selection currently features 8 varieties with the promise of more to come. These include: Sorta Sweet Blueberry Wine, Kinda Dry Blueberry Wine, Rustic Raspberry, Back Porch Peach, Bold Blackberry, Southern Strawberry, Crisp Green Apple, and a Holiday Wine which is seasonal.

Although this company is growing and busy, they are always happy to have visitors. Island Grove offers winery tours every day (provided you call in advance). Wine tastings and field tours are also provided complimentary to large groups which arrange trips in advance.

The Ocala National Forest encompasses over 383,000 acres of natural land between the St. Johns and Ocklawaha Rivers. The ONF offers visitors a view of the natural habitats of North Central Florida, including over 600 natural lakes, rivers and springs. While many visitors choose to camp either in one of dozens of campgrounds or camping areas dispersed throughout the forest, there are many activities perfect for those wishing to spend an afternoon in nature.
For a little exercise, one can backpack through nearly 100 miles of trails winding through the natural habitat, or take the mountain biking trail that runs from the Clearwater Lake Recreation Area with Alexander Springs Recreation Area. There are also trails designated specifically for horse riding and camping. And for those interested in a more motorized view of the forest, there are over 200 miles of ATV and motorcycle trails and 81 miles of off-road trails for Jeeps and four-wheel drive vehicles, making the ONF one of the most-sought after destinations for off-roading in the state.

What can be the most attractive to visitors during the hot summer months, however, are all the water-related activities the ONF boasts. Natural cold-water springs like Alexander Springs and Jupiter Springs draw in thousands of guests yearly with their sparkling clear, refreshingly cold water. While the major springs and lakes attract most visitors, there are hundreds of smaller waterways scattered throughout the forest just waiting to be discovered.

There are only four places on earth that are designated “Horse Capital of the World“. Ocala-Marion County is one and the other three are Lexington, Kentucky; Newmarket, England; and Chantilly, France.

Even to the uninitiated, it is quite obvious why the U.S. Department of Agriculture branded Ocala the title of Horse Capital of the World back in 1999. With over 600 horse farms scattered all throughout the county, it is almost impossible not to see one when driving around town.

History

The beginning of Ocala’s horse industry can be traced back to one man named Carl G. Rose who in 1916 came to Florida from Indiana to supervise the construction of the state’s first asphalt road. After experimenting with limestone as an asphalt additive, he theorized that the abundance of the mineral in Ocala’s soil meant that it was an ideal location for breeding and raising strong horses. In 1943, Rose bought acreage along State Road 200 and the Rosemere Farm was born. The farm would later become the site of Paddock Mall and Central Florida College. By the time he died in 1963, Rose was said to be responsible for establishing at least 30 thoroughbred farms in Marion County.

Home of the Champions

Champions of the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes and the Belmont Stakes have been bred, raised or trained in Ocala, Florida. Most famous of all is “Affirmed” who is also the most recent winner of the Triple Crown (winning all three above races) – considered to be the greatest accomplishment in thoroughbred racing. In all, Ocala’s horse farms have produced 45 national champions, 6 Kentucky Derby winners, 20 Breeder’s Cup champions and 6 Horses of the Year.

Horse Events in Ocala, Florida

Horse Shows in the Sun (HITS) – For five weeks each winter, HITS hosts one of the largest hunter/jumper shows in the United States. Held at the Post Time Farms, the annual event draws thousands of competitors and horse enthusiasts all around the world. HITS brings the area an estimated $30 million, to Marion County hotels, motels, restaurants, tack and feed stores.

Live Oak International – Since its inception in 1993, the Live Oak Combined Driving Event has become one of the premier Combined Driving Events in North America. Since 1995, the Event has hosted Selection Trials for both the United States and Canadian Equestrian Teams and in 1998, was granted international sanctioning by the Federal Equestre Internationale.

Ocala Breeder Sales Auctions – The Ocala Breeders’ Sales Company sells over $100 million worth of thoroughbreds a year in its seven auctions. OBS also features an Inter-Track Wagering Teletheater where fans can watch and wager on horse racing simulcasts from around the country.

Florida Horse Park Events – An official training site for the US Equestrian Team, the park now hosts World- and Olympic-level equine sports competitions. All-year events in the Florida Horse Park ranges from combine driving, dressage, eventing, foxhunting, hunter/jumper, polo and trail-riding.

Horse Drawn Carriage Rides – Ocala has a wonderful horse culture which includes competitions, breeder sales, invitationals, horse farm tours, and also the wildly popular horse drawn carriage rides. A unique attraction in Downtown Ocala in the Christmas season are carriage rides on the square provided by Horse County Carriage Company. This festive tradition does not have to stop after the holidays are over, however, as Horse Country Carriage Rides is open all year at Kimberden Farms. Group tours and family tours are ideal.

Our Holiday Inn Express Ocala-Silver Springs is the closest hotel to the Silver River State Park, a 4,600 acre wonderland for the all nature lovers out there. The park next to our hotel has more than 10 distinct natural habitats, dozens of sparkling, mineral-rich springs and miles of well-maintained trails. Visitors can canoe down the crystal clear river, hike or bike along one of the scenic trails, or just sit and watch for the wide variety of native birds and wildlife that make the Silver River State Park their home. One of the most fascinating features for most visitors are the wild monkeys that live along the Silver River and can sometimes be spotted in the park.

The Silver River picnic area features three large pavilions with BBQ grills that may be rented for group outings. A beautiful venue for family reunions, birthday parties, or even weddings, the picnic area provides shelter on sunny days, plenty of seating, and a playground for the youngsters.
For overnight stays, the park has a full facility campground and 10 luxury cabins. There is also a primitive campground for use by organized groups (scouts, church groups, etc.), however, with our hotel just down the road from the Silver River State Park, there is no need to rough it if you don’t need to.

The Silver River State Park is home to a pioneer cracker village and the Silver River Museum and Environmental Education Center. The center is operated by the Marion County School District in cooperation with the park and is open to the public on weekends and holidays from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00. p.m. Admission to the Museum is $2.00 per person. Children under 6 are free. For more information please visit Silver River Museum website by clicking here.

The main entrance to Silver River State Park is located east of Ocala, one mile south of our Holiday Inn Express and Suites of Silver Springs, on State Road 35.
