Green Springs Park has one of Florida’s very few green sulfur springs, which means the color of these springs are a dazzling emerald green, even more pronounced on a sunny afternoon.

But beyond just the beauty of this natural park and the springs, there is a history too, dating all the way back to the early 1800s.

Native Americans, including the Mayaca and Seminoles, considered the land of what is now Enterprise to be sacred and thought the sulfur water within the springs to have healing properties.
