Ponce de Leon Springs State Park, Natural spring park in Holmes County, Florida, US
The park contains a spring system that produces 14 million gallons of water daily through two underground flows at a constant temperature of 68 degrees Fahrenheit.
Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León led the first expedition to Florida in 1513, searching for waters that would restore youth and vitality.
Local residents and visitors gather at the springs for swimming, fishing, and picnicking while engaging in educational programs about Florida's natural water systems.
The park operates from 8 AM until sunset with a $4 vehicle entrance fee and offers facilities including restrooms, picnic pavilions, and nature trails.
Two separate underground water flows merge at the spring, creating distinct temperature variations that swimmers can experience in different areas of the water.
