Review & FAQ:
The De Leon Springs State Park provides visitors and locals alike with an experience in Florida that combines interesting history and a recreational swimming area. Once known as Acuera, or Healing Waters, by the Mayaca Indians, the De Leon Springs offers clear waters and a great place to relax and cool off in the summer heat. Visitors can also immerse themselves in the history of the park, which was visited by John James Audubon, a famous naturalist, in 1831. The spring was also used for a sugar cane mill, and then a grist mill during the Civil War era.
