This Florida State Recreation area on St John river is just a few miles North of Blue Springs State Park on State road 17, about 35 miles north of Orlando.

The Orlando Florida tourist will need a full day to explore DeLeon Springs Florida, as it is mainly a park for the whole family to enjoy with many varied activities.

Book in advance with the Park Rangers if you need a pavilion for the day.

An old Spanish sugar mill with huge paddle wheel converted into a visitor center, grill and griddle house serves a mixture to make your own pancakes on a hot griddle which is recessed into the center of every table.This is also the place for Canoe, kayak, inner tube and paddleboat rentals.

Picnic areas with tables and grills as well as pavilions are available, as well as slides and climbing frames located near the restaurant and restrooms.

A 500 year old cypress tree, pines and many other native plants can be seen from a paved nature trail, or join the 4 mile loop Wild Persimmon Hiking Trail for wildlife viewing of animals and birds.

@rcmodelr every spring is 68-72

De Leon Springs is in DE LEON SPRINGS. Not Orlando.

Is THIS park REALLY sometimes called Ponce De Leon Springs?

There IS a Ponce De Leon Springs State Park located just South of Ponce De Leon, Florida which is located about 21 miles South of the Alabama State Line, or about 25 miles South of Geneva, Alabama

And THAT Ponce De Leon Springs near Ponce De Leon, Florida ALSO has a natural spring... I've never been to it, but I've been told the water there is 68 - 72 year round also.
