Green Springs Park
Green Springs Park covers 31 acres of pristine nature and has one of Florida’s few green sulfur springs.
Visitors can enjoy paved and natural trails, scenic overlooks, a playground, and picnic pavilions. There are also maintained public restrooms and plenty of parking. However, swimming or fishing is not allowed.
Green Springs Park has played an important role in Volusia County’s history, dating back to early native settlers. In 1841, a hotel was built at the end of the springs and is known as one of Florida’s first health spas. It later (1883) became a large estate for a wine importer and steamboat baron.
Green Springs Park offers nature trails and scenic overlooks. It is also a trailhead to the Spring-to-Spring Trail and the East Central Regional Rail Trail. The East Central Regional Rail Trail begins at Green Springs and travels 5.7 miles to State Road 415 in Osteen.
