their interests and lifestyle, such as sporting events, camping, fishing,
historic and archaeological sites.
The County's most popular
parks include scenic Spruce Creek Park in Port Orange, which offers
camping, nature trails and a children's playground. Lake Monroe and Ed
Stone parks in West Volusia County provide boat access to the St. Johns
River, where you and your family can fish for bass and glimpse bald
eagles, alligators, osprey and otters in the wild. Southeast Volusia
boasts historic River Breeze Park, once the site of a Colonial-era
plantation. River Breeze also features boat ramps offering access to the
Indian River, a fishing pier and a playground area. The 210-acre Gemini
Springs Park in DeBary, has an active spring bubbling up 6.5 million
gallons of sparkling fresh water every day.
