Indian Springs State Park, State park in Flovilla, United States.
Indian Springs State Park is a nature reserve in Flovilla featuring natural mineral springs, a stone spring building, McIntosh Lake, and Sandy Creek as main attractions. The grounds offer hiking trails through wooded areas, camping and lodging options, and opportunities for boating and fishing.
The region was originally inhabited by Creek Indians who recognized and used the medicinal properties of the mineral springs. European settlers arrived later and built infrastructure, including the spring building constructed in the 1930s during economic hardship.
The stone Spring House was built during the Great Depression by the Civilian Conservation Corps and allows the public to access mineral water from underground sources. Visitors can observe how this historic structure makes the natural flow usable today.
The park offers various accommodation and recreational activities year-round, with some facilities operating on seasonal schedules. Visitors should check ahead to see which activities and services are available during their planned visit.
Water from the mineral springs is pushed through rock layers by natural underground pressure and reaches the surface without pumps. This natural artesian flow has made the source accessible for centuries and attracts visitors curious about its special mineral content.
