Spring Park is located across the street, home of the famous springs that brought so many to Green Cove in the 1800s. The spring water rises from the aquifer at a constant 77 degrees F, bubbling out of a manmade basin to flow into a massive swimming pool. Draining naturally at the far end of the pool, the slightly sulfuric waters create a winding spring run as they race downhill towards the St. Johns River.

The Clay County Fairgrounds is just 5 minutes away. I-295 and I-95 are within 15 miles.
