Ponce de Leon Spring is located on the grounds of Ponce de Leon Springs State Park just south of Ponce de Leon, FL. The banks near the spring have been stabilized with limestone, mortar and concrete and a concrete control structure has been constructed to raise the water elevation in the pool. After the control structure, the spring flows 660 feet to Sandy Creek. Under high stage levels, Sandy Creek overflows its banks and discharges into the spring run. Two spring vents discharge into this swimming area. A prominent surface boil is visible issuing from the northwestern of the two vents.
