    Green Springs State Park is one of those places that quietly steals your heart. The spring itself is stunning, but what really takes it to the next level are the sunsets--absolutely breathtaking, especially near the water. Golden hour here feels like a little slice of heaven. And just when you think it can't get any sweeter, there's a nearby farm where you can spot mini cows when walking on the trail. Yes, mini cows--and they are the cutest, most unexpected joy you didn't know you needed. Whether you're coming to unwind, take a scenic walk, or soak in nature's magic, this park is a true gem in every way. Don't miss it!

    What an amazing park !! Went early morning Sunday limited parking. So much to check out. It's clean with bathrooms. Very family friendly. A great place to take a stroll

    This is a small public park with a pavilion, picnic tables, small playground, restrooms, several short trails (paved and unpaved), and of course the Green Springs. I enjoyed the hiking trails as they snaked around the peaceful jungle foliage. I had a hard time locating the springs until I found a couple signs. I even saw a small gator floating and sunning itself. It's also a short easy walk to Lake Monroe for a beautiful view. I'd highly recommend this little park, for its peacefulness, trails and adventure opportunity.

    Nice little park with walking and bike trails. Little pond in the middle with a small alligator in it. Very lush jungle atmosphere.

    Wonderful free park with an other-worldly vibe to it! The green color from the springs is worth the small walk to get to it from the parking lot. There was an alligator hanging out in the springs when we viewed it. Nice playground area, picnic tables, restrooms, and walking & biking paths. Worth a stop to check it out!

    Green Springs Park in Enterprise, Florida is built on the first settlement, which was began by Cornelius Taylor in 1842. Taylor was a loud man who was hot tempered and was known as the "Thunder of Enterprise," he was a veteran of the Seminole Wars and, while acknowledged as a "bold and enterprising pioneer in a new country," his brusque manner also fueled conflict, including a fatal shooting. The park itself is an enjoyable respite from the hustle and bustle of civilization. It is nice to walk amongst the trees and imagine Florida before development overtook the natural beauty. The springs is the highlight of this park and a pretty cool thing to behold.

    Green Springs!

    Found this little gem on TripAdvisor and wanted to explore some of it because of how beautiful it looked and how close it was from me. Like other reviewers mentioned, it's a bit hidden and thus pretty empty. Not bad for a mid-day weekend! Although it's 36 acres, Green Spring Park seems small. However, most of that is wilderness. It has a picnic pavilion area where you can grill and the rest room area right by the parking circle. There's also a cute little playground area and level hiking paths mixed in with bike paths. The main draw is the Green Springs and man is it beautiful! Sulfur is what gives the water it's distinct color and the usual rotten-egg smell isn't overwhelming. Unfortunately, you cannot go swimming here and there's a sign to beware of Alligators and snakes but I didn't see either. What I did notice was lots of mosquitoes!

    Five stars for these beautiful pure green spring waters... However, I am truly concerned about the amount of people that love to use this spring as their own personal pool; even though, there are many signs that say "no swimming". Every time I go here I see the damage caused by irresponsible fun-seekers who make this their own personal watering hole.

    Green Springs is rich in history and one of Volusia's best natural resources. The sulfury emerald green spring is as green as can be with two absolutely beautiful oak trees growing curiously above it. Connecting the Spring to Spring and Rail Trials this park's seeing lots of renewed interest. There ought to be security though. Revelers, young and old, profane teens and skinny dipping seniors like to make this their own personal private watering hole despite rules against it, signage and warnings. Sucks.

    Beautiful!

    We had a great time hiking in this beautiful park. The only downfall was the homeless people hanging out. They were all fine and respectful but just weird to see them at a place that is off the beaten path.

    This was SUCH a neat area to stop by! (FYI The address listed here is not correct) Beautiful trails and the springs is fantastic to see. We can verify there IS alligators in the area as we stumbled across one taking a swim!

    Very clean and beautiful: you can't swim cause they have a alligator right now. And watch out for giant spiders if you get off the cemented track and start hiking in the trails in the actual woods, giant spiders

    Green sulfur springs Green Spring Park is a wonderful 36 acre park that has some of Florida's last sulfur springs. Yes they are green and they do look strange. The water lever varies a lot and during the dry part of the year the springs aren't that large but even with a low water level the sulfur springs are cool. The area is dripping with history, starting with the Native American tribes having camps here to Frederick DeBary using the park to entertain his very rich guests. The park has a rather odd combination of paved cement paths and dirt ones. All of it is very easy hiking but with so many things to observe. Not only the springs but a plethora of plants and animals No swimming or fishing is allow here but that doesn't matter. It is such a cool and unique place that just walking quietly and looking, listening and smelling is enough.

You can hike the trails, kayak on the St. John's River, or fish in Lake Monroe or off the pier. Plenty of parking, picnic tables, BBQ grills, and a cool playground for the kids. Even dogs have their own park! Plus, there are primitive camping sites available. It felt super clean and safe, and parking was easy.

    Gemini Springs Park is located in DeBary, Florida, 25 miles north of Orlando…read more Since you can no longer swim here due to high concentrations of bacteria in the waters, visitor attendance can be quite low. And since there's alternative parks situated throughout Central Florida that are swimmable, not many people will make the effort to experience Gemini Springs. In fact, I'd categorize this place as a local town park more than anything. It's free to visit and hours are sunrise to sunset. There were no names or signs for the hiking trails, so at times it felt like I was wandering aimlessly. But, the trees decorated with Spanish Moss exuded southern charm and most corners I turned felt like strolling along a nature trail. There's a dual sided passageway that acts as the centerpiece to the park and is also a dam spillway which (I believe) separates the DeBary Creek waters and the Gemini Springs area. I did spot a gator which almost caught a fish right in front of my eyes. I also noticed a soft shell turtle who appeared to be laying her eggs in the sand and some birds doing fishing of their own. Gemini Springs has picnic pavilions, a playground, a dog park, a fishing pier, plenty of grass to play around, and even camping is permitted here. Lastly, I'd like to highlight a section of the park that turns colorfully vibrant when the sun is shining... - Follow the concrete walkway (which you can't miss). - Then...you'll approach a tucked away corner of the springs. This area can be a rewarding moment for admiring the great outdoors. If you just pause and absorb the surroundings, nature's beauty shines through. It's a refreshing reminder that just because a park isn't as accessible as it once was, doesn't mean it should go unnoticed. I believe Gemini Springs Park can be a worthwhile half day visit.

Fishing is permitted from the fishing dock on the St. Johns River. There is also camping, cabins for rent, hiking, and manatee viewing. You can even rent an all-terrain tracked wheelchair for accesible hiking! You can find a gift shop and a concession stand inside the park. Follow the Blue Spring State Park Facebook page to stay up to date on fun activities and events like Manatee Bingo, Meditate & Move with the Manatees, guided moonlight hikes, and the Junior Ranger Program. My favorite event of the year is Firefly Nights from around mid March to mid April. You get to walk the boardwalk after the park closes to see thousands of Florida fireflies! It is absolutely magical, and a little surreal. Weekdays are less crowded, but honestly if you can only go on a weekend it's worth braving the crowd. It's a separately-ticketed event, and it does sell out some nights so make sure to get your tickets in advance!

Attraction: The Springs are the main attraction with options to swim, tube, snorkel, and scuba dive in the spring in the summer. When we visited that was all restricted because the manatees were here to nest in the winter. This was awesome and it was great to see these amazing creatures in their winter respite. This is a must if you are visiting the Orlando area in the winter. Cost: Six dollars to come into the park with up to 8 people in the vehicle. Great price for an unforgettable experience.

It also has a variety of recreational activities. Lake Monroe is almost 10 acres and a destination for fishing, boating, kayaking, and other water sports. The park reopened to the public in July of 2004 after a $1.2 million renovation and improvement project that included new restrooms, refurbished entrance road, floating fishing docks, picnic pavilions, and improved parking and a trailhead for the south segment of the Lake Monroe-Gemini Springs-DeBary Hall trail. The Spring to Spring Trail is so named because the 6.6 mile trail links a number of state and county parks that contain springs. This segment of the trail is known as the Pat Northey Trail, named for a local resident who advocated for protection of this natural corridor. Additional park amenities include a boat ramp that puts you on to the St. Johns River at the north end of the lake, a sand volleyball court, and a playground, but it was closed during my visit. The trailhead at the back of Lake Monroe Park is a draw for hikers because the bike path leads to a broad boardwalk through a cypress swamp. There is also a 25 site campground, one of the few public campgrounds in Central Florida. Each site has a picnic table, grill, and electric outlet and a bathhouse with hot showers is provided. I loved the lake view and despite the alligator warnings the only one I saw was a huge concrete one that you could take your picture with.
