Fed by over 25 artesian springs, Silver River gives life to the Ocklawaha - once flowing freely to the St. Johns before the Kirkpatrick Dam severed their connection. Restoring that flow would reopen vital pathways for manatees, migrating fish, and wetland ecosystems across Florida. Sign the pledge for river restoration: http://itsaboutdamtime.org.

Did you know the Ocklawaha River once connected Silver Springs to the St. Johns River, creating a vital pathway for fish, manatees, and other wildlife to migrate freely? 💧 For far too long, the Rodman Dam has blocked that historic waterway, but right now, we’re getting a look at what a restored river could look like. As of October 10, a 90-day drawdown of the Rodman Pool began, lowering water levels and revealing the Ocklawaha’s natural flow. Springs re-emerge, ancient cypress trees rise above
