Green Springs State Park
Note: Visit the website or call first to see if your local park is open. If it is, be sure to adhere to safe social distancing practices.
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 public restrooms that are maintained and plenty of parking. No swimming or fishing is allowed.
Green Springs Park has played an important role in Volusia County’s history that dates 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. This park is also a trailhead to both 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.
