The 210-acre Gemini Springs was purchased in 1994 through the combined efforts of Volusia County, the Trust for Public Lands, the St. Johns River Water Management District and the Florida Communities Trust. Approximately 6.5 million gallons of sparkling fresh water bubble up from the two springs each day.

Gemini Springs is between the town of Enterprise, which was a busy center of commerce and government in the early days of the Florida frontier, and the city of DeBary. The land passed through several hands before it was purchased by its last private owners, Saundra and Charles Gray, in 1969.

You can spend the entire day here playing and caching - Both dry land, swampy areas and boating, For Gemini it is primarily kayak or canoe.


There is no entry fee and the park closes at sunset

Your trek to this placement will take you through Upchit Creek to a large lake and then to your destination where you are looking for a laminated white tag with 6 numbers that are your log code.

A small water craft is required. Launch site is N 28° 51.758 W 081° 18.522


Time and difficulty can be greatly affected by time of the year and depth of the water level so prepare accordingly. Time and distance are round-trip based on date of placement.

 

Note: The canopy might give some GZ error so look for this single oak as your goal

Be safe and enjoy
