Gemini Springs Park

This is a great set of trails in Deberry. There is a dog park, and great views of water. No swimming,

I stumbled upon this park after not being able to go to the Sanford dog park, and I was glad for my previous misfortune. This dog park has a massive space that is acres wide for lots of running. There is a forest space in the middle, and another space for dogs as well. All fenced off, and the locals were quite nice. My Russian wolfhound had fun for hours smelling everything and making friends! Will definitely come again when possible.

This weekend was our first experience to this park. We were looking for nearby places that we could take our dog for free, and this fit that description.
The dog parks are both very cool. Just big old fenced in areas, that the dogs can run around in, with benches you can sit down on. Also has a poop bag station and a water fountain that you can use for the dogs.
The walking trails are very nice. Very clean, and they have benches all over. A Lot of natural shade too.
We are geocachers, and this park has a great variety of geocaches. We found 3 this weekend.
The fishing pier is awesome, with a beautiful view.
Also, we saw a bunch of birthday parties going on at the pavilions. Those areas look very nicely maintained, and very convenient to a huge field, that would accommodate most any party games imaginable.

Beautiful area and huge spaces (dog parks) that are fenced in for dogs. My dog enjoyed running around. Lots of shade and was pretty clean. Highly recommend closed toed shoes as it is mostly dirt/​twigs (and signs saying snakes in the area). It was a great stop on our drive and not too far off the freeway. There’s also trails if you want to just walk/​hike and play area/​playground for those with human kids :)

One of Florida’s best little known public spaces. Trails, park, dog park, all very nice. I’ve been walking and biking here for years and generally speaking, everybody’s friendly. Every now and then, there’s some DnD Lotro ring gang battling it out, but I look the other way after laughing at the energy these people put into their fun. Laughing in an appreciative way, btw. Several springs, rental areas, camping. Several nice, wide fields for football, soccer, flying a kite, or whatever. Footpaths for the occasional hiker. Thank you Volusial County, and Florida for making this public. Democratic socialism at work. lol

The trail here is great. I love to jog and I go around exploring different trails in Florida. It’s super shady. So, even if you go when it’s very sunny, the abundance of trees make it cooler. The people on the trail are very friendly; they always say «hello» and «good morning» Yeah, there’s some trails were people are awfully rude for some reason, and if you are going to the park in itself, you won’t be disappointed, it’s very beautiful.

This was our first visit to Gemini Springs Park it’s another beautiful park in a string of green space preserves filled with fresh water springs bubbling up from the shallow aquifer in the area. The park is well maintained with plenty of clean restrooms, pavilions and numerous walking trails circling the small ponds located throughout the park. The crystal clear waters continuously flow providing the perfect habitat to host an abundances of wildlife that call this park home, although today’s visit was void of any alligator sightings we were treated to plenty of marine birds, squirrels, turtles, and many schools of fish navigating the shallow waters.
Although the swimming area was closed due to the level of bacteria in the water it’s apparent this once was paradise for kids in cut-​offs to cool off. I don’t know if this is a permanent closure but I assume it is with all the recent press of the scary bug known Naegleria fowleri the brain eating amoebas that loves warm untreated fresh water, it’s discovery years ago has ruined so many of these natural public swimming areas because of the liability I assume, although the chances of coming in contact with these tiny zombie like amoebas stalking your skull is astronomical (in the past ten years only 35 cases were reported in all of the U.S.) it seems like a reasonable risk to me to have a little fun. All the evidence is still intact showing what must have been a wonderful swimming hole years ago with the aging concrete and wooden steps leading down into the water. It’s funny how so many of the things a lot of us enjoyed as kids is forbidden now, I’m all about having the knowledge just against all the media hype that creates paranoia that eliminates personal choice. I guess drinking water out of the garden hose in the backyard is out of the question also?

I love this park! It’s peaceful and beautiful. I’ve riden bikes through there many times. The 4^th of July festivities are thebest. And I’m getting married at the park next year!

What can I say, I freakin’ love Gemini.
For starters, there is a HUGE fenced in dog park. I have two very energetic dogs who love going there, as they are able to run like the wind. Some dog parks are so small the dogs can’t even really run around without colliding in to each other. Not here! However, I will caution you to not come in any clothes or shoes that you want to keep clean… it’s pretty much pure dirt/​sand in the dog park. Even times when I stayed off to the corner and sat on a bench I still managed to come home with sand filled shoes and slobbery pants.
And for those that have non-​furry children, there is a giant grassy area with a nice sized playground off to the side. It’s the perfect place to bring a blanket, picnic basket and soccer ball and veg out for the day. There are also several different pavilion areas that you can rent out for parties. And let’s not forget the springs. Although you can’t swim here anymore, there are docks that overlook the water. It’s a perfect for nature watching… plenty of fish and birds. I even saw a baby gator swim by one time.
But perhaps my favorite part of Gemini are all the walking trails. Great for a jog or bike ride, and oh so fun to just explore. Some of the trails are covered with big, old oak trees that are draped in Spanish moss. It’s some of the most beautiful Florida scenery I’ve seen. It feels like you’re walking through an enchanted forest… seriously, I’m always expecting a hobbit or some kind of fairy to pop out at any moment!
If you’re looking for something to do outdoors on one of those perfect Florida days, I recommend checking out Gemini.

We were staying at a friends house 5 mins down the street. We hesitated at first but, after we got there we were really impressed. It is a very nice park. They have some awesome trails which I especially liked because I saw a lot of birds while walking them. It’s a great place for families to enjoy the day. We want to go back and try the bike trails.

Love this place. The trails are beautiful and the dog park is great. I love riding my bike with my dogs (I have the BikeTowLeash — awesome invention!) and it’s all free to use.
Wonderful park. I remember swimming here in my youth but I think it was closed due to an abundance of bacteria or some such thing. It’s still a nice place regardless, if you want to swim in a spring then just head to Blue Springs a city over.

I already enjoy this park for personal recreation, however I have to compliment staff and the Volusia county permit office for arranging the easiest booking of a meeting room I have ever encountered. I was holding a holiday meeting for 17 of my team members who were all driving in from all over the state — rather than have them couped up in an office like conference room all day I booked the Spring House at Gemini Springs. The rates were incredibly reasonable– it had everything we needed (full kitchen!!) And it was great to take breaks outside with such great surroundings throughout the day. I can’t wait to book my next meeting, my managers had such great feedback this may become our annual meeting place. It was clean and in great shape despite having a wedding the night before. All the park staff were personable and friendly.

Pretty park! Nice shaded (pretty generic) play ground. The paths were fun to walk around. Lots of wildlife and places to pat up and spend the afternoon. Would be a great place for a family outing.

This place is gorgeous and well-​maintained. A great park to bring your family or to have a romantic date. I’ve been to many events at The Springhouse and it’s always lovely in there.

This iss just one of the most beautiful places in the area.
First off, it’s free to get in. There’s no swimming, but there is fishing, a great bike trail and lots of trails to explore. My kids loved it and we really just had a great time. You can even camp there! We may have to go back and check it out. I like it because you feel like you’re really far away, but in reality it’s only about 25 minutes from my front door.
The bike trail is perfect for a family ride. We did a loop from Gemini Springs Park to DeBary Park and it was about 5 miles. You can also go up to DeBary City Hall, but we didn’t go out that far, simply because the boys also wanted to fish.
If you’re looking for a great place to explore, check out Gemini Springs!

This is a beautiful place to take the dogs on a trail walk. They love the grassy trails and the chance to cool off in the water. I always let them off leash which you’re not supposed to, but it’s generally pretty quiet on the trails so it’s a non issue. There are miles of trails, we went 5 miles one day and could have gone more. There is also a large pretty fenced in dog park.

Good place to hike and bird. It has a huge playing field for frisbee or whatever anyone sets up. It’s a family place, good for picnicking. There’s a children’s play area with slides, swings and the usual play toys. Good bathrooms.
You get many views of the springs although it’s not a good place to swim due to potential alligators.
From the main lot, a walk leads along shore, or along to the fishing area – many fisherman come here. Another trail follows into the woods. We often get lost but easily find our way back by backtracking or just picking a trail and seeing where it leads.

Nice playground for the kids but you can’t swim anymore:(

Today we (my hubby and daughter) spontaneously decided to visit a park and this was the one we chose. I looked it on trip advisor (its already an app on my phone lol) They had only one review, so I wasn’t too sure. We arrived, not sure where to start and where to park because the park is huge! It looked peaceful.
As the hubby looked for parking he mistakenly took the exit road, when on our right we see this huge field of green and a nice big tree perfectly settled in the middle of it all with a bench underneath it! We thought…“This is a perfect setting.” We drove right into the field, parked underneath the shade, and enjoyed the beautiful breeze on this sunny day. Too bad we didn’t have our beach chairs and blanket; it would’ve been a great picnic… next time we will def be prepared!

Lucious, green, and shady bike route for biking and walking. Lots of people bring the pets. I stayed at the Hampton Inn nearby, rented a bike and rode the trails.. .
very awesome!
