Review:
Rumored to be home to the illusive “Fountain of Youth” sought by Spanish explorer Ponce de Leon in 1513, the Ponce de Leon Springs State Park is an attractive park where nature lovers can spend some time relaxing and bird-watching. The waters of the Ponce de Leon spring are crystal clear and maintain a temperature of around 68 degrees all year round enticing visitors to come from near and far to enjoy a swim (perhaps in the hope of gaining eternal youth). There are picnic pavilions, change rooms and showers for your convenience. Birding enthusiasts should consider visiting in winter when many additional birds converge on the park and are easily spotted due to the lack of foliage.
