Ponce DeLeon, the Spanish explorer, believed that he had found the fountain of youth when he first saw the springs. Visiting the springs, it's no wonder why.
DeLeon Springs is an all-day trip for all ages. There are many things to do, regardless of the temperature. When it is hot you can take a refreshing soak in the 72 degree springs, rent a paddle boat or canoe, and enjoy the nature walk. In the winter time, you may just see a manatee.
I suggest arriving here on a Saturday or Sunday, enjoying the pancake breakfast, packing a picnic lunch, and renting a canoe. The park is open from 8am to sundown. DeLeon Springs is a must see and a great getaway from the hustle and bustle of Orlando. See the true Florida.
