De Leon Springs State Park

TIME : 2016/2/18 11:41:38

Fifteen minutes north of town, these natural springs flow into the 18,000-acre Lake Woodruff National Wildlife Refuge and were used by Native Americans 6000 years ago. Today they're a popular developed swimming area, great for kids. Water-equipment rentals and boat tours are available: enquire at the Park Office. Experienced hikers can attack the robust, blue-blaze 4.2-mile Wild Persimmon Trail, meandering through oak hammocks, floodplains and open fields.
