About Ponce de Leon Springs State Park

September 4, 1970 marks the date the land was first acquired, using money from the Land Acquisition Trust Fund to develop it for outdoor recreation and historic conservation. The park sits in the town of Ponce de Leon and centers on a spring where visitors can swim, with nature trails for hiking through the surrounding property. Wildlife viewing and nature appreciation were part of the original plan for the site.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
