Park Activities
Fishing
Fishing is permitted in areas not designated for
swimming. Otherwise throw your pole in and watch
your cork to see if your efforts are to be rewarded
with catches of catfish, largemouth bass, chain
pickerel and panfish. If watching closely you can
actually see the fish come to the bait.
Nature Trails
Take a stroll down the two trails of the park, Sandy
Creek and Spring Run. Each trail will take you through
a lush hardwood forest, which provides optimum vantage
points for observing wildlife along the 350-foot
spring run and Sandy Creek. As well as, a relaxing
stroll among a variety of native plant and animal
habitat, where you can listen to the relaxing sounds
of the flowing stream or conversation of the birds.
Rangers also conduct seasonal guided walks, but
self-guided tours are also available.
Picnicking
After you have worked up an appetite splashing around
in the cool spring water and walking the nature
trails, it is time for lunch. Approximately 20 acres
have been enhanced with amenities for visitors.
Four picnic shelters with grills are available for
reservation, and numerous picnic tables are available
on the grounds for anyone who wishes to stop in
for a short picnic lunch, or spend the day swimming
and relaxing in the park. Your grill is also welcome
for that special cookout.
Swimming
On those sweltering days of summer, regain your youth
by taking a dip in the cool crystal clear waters of
Ponce De Leon Springs where the water temperature
remains a constant 68 degrees year round. You may
not get any younger but the water is sure to invigorate.
The park has a large bathroom facility complete with
changing rooms for your convenience. |
