Ponce de Leon Springs State Park in Ponce de Leon

Ponce de Leon Springs State Park

.

📍 2860 Ponce De Leon Springs Rd, Ponce De Leon, FL 32455

.

This Florida Springs is a beautiful destination for hiking, snorkeling, or even a picnic day. There is a really shallow area along the flow of the springs only about ankle deep. Water stays at a cool 68 degrees all year round! Is this water too cold or just perfect to swim in?
