De Leon Springs State park Florida!
Enjoy swimming in the 72 degree spring!

It says back in history the springs had become a winter resort, and tourists were promised "A fountain of youth impregnated with a deliciously healthy combination of soda and sulphur".

All we can say is, it's a beautiful park with shady picnic areas, a popular restaurant, swimming for all ages in 72 degree waters, hiking trails, boating, creeks and marshes spread around a huge 18,000 acres of park land here in Cental Florida.
