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 lies just off Interstate 75 near Jackson and Flovilla, with a 3.25-mile trail linking it to Dauset Trails. Camping is spread across 62 tent, trailer and RV sites, plus 10 cottages and a group camp. The museum opens only seasonally, and the spring water is free to sample.
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.
