Event comments
The walk begins and ends in Spring Park which includes a sulfur water spring. The walk includes charming residential areas with many views of the St. Johns River and continues through the historic downtown area. The area was settled around 1850. Green Cove became a prime tourist attraction, famous for the warm, therapeutic springs. The spring is one of approximately a dozen sulfur water springs in Florida and is still popular today as a tourist site and a public swimming facility. The water boils up from a large fissure, some twenty feet below the surface at the rate of approximately 3,000 gal
