Perhaps the "fountain of youth," always associated with the name Ponce de Leon, is one of the numerous springs found in this 443-acre park in Holmes and Walton counties. The main spring found in the park is actually the coming together of two flows from a limestone cavity. These two flows produce more than 14 million gallons of crystal-clear water daily. Inevitably, a youthful glow will follow a dip in the spring because its temperature remains a constant 68 degrees. The spring's coolness is refreshing when summer temperatures soar, and the temperature is a warming contrast as the thermometer begins to fall.
