Alligator Swimming In Green Springs

A small alligator swimming in the green waters of Green Springs Park, located near Enterprise, Florida.

Green Springs has been an important landmark throughout the history of Volusia County, Florida from the time of early Native American settlements to the steamboat era when Enterprise was the final destination on the St. Johns River. Native Americans, including the Mayaca and Seminoles, considered the land sacred because they thought the sulfur water in the springs was healing.
