Tucked away in a quiet corner of Enterprise, Florida, lies the gorgeous Green Springs Park. It’s one of the springs that lie along Florida’s extensive bike trail network. Whether you arrive by car or by bike, you won’t be disappointed in this gem of a park.

Green Springs Park can be a quick scenic stop on the way to other nearby natural springs. The scenery is stunning, but compared to other Florida springs which offer boating, swimming, fishing, etc, this one just doesn’t have as much to offer. It has acres of walking trails, a covered picnic pavilion, restrooms and a playground.
Admission and parking are free. The walk to the main spring is just a flat 2 minute walk from the parking lot. Swimming and boating are not allowed! We spent about 20 minutes walking around before leaving for De Leon Springs! Also be prepared for a healthy population of mosquitos to greet you!

History
Check out the interesting history of the spring taken from Volusia county’s website. https://www.volusia.org/services/community-services/parks-recreation-and-culture/parks-and-trails/park-facilities-and-locations/ecological-nature-parks/green-spring-park.stml#
“Green Springs has been an important landmark throughout the history of Volusia County from the time of early Native American settlements to the steamboat era when Enterprise was the final destination on the St. Johns River. Native Americans, including the Mayaca and Seminoles, considered the land sacred because they thought the sulfur water in the springs was healing.
In 1841, Cornelius Taylor built a hotel on top of a once-massive shell mound at the end of the spring run where it enters Lake Monroe. The spring was the main attraction of Taylor’s “hotel for invalids” on the lakefront – one of Florida’s first health spas. The hotel attracted tourists in the mid-1800s who wanted to enjoy the St. Johns River and recuperate from various illnesses.”
