Warm Mineral Springs

Find that old Florida vibe

At Warm Mineral Springs Park, you will find a day full of relaxation.

Step into the past at the only natural warm spring in Florida! With a consistent average temperature of 85 degrees year-round, Warm Mineral Springs Park provides visitors with both therapeutic and passive recreation experiences. The spring, listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places, is rumored to have one of the highest mineral contents of any natural spring in the United States. With anaerobic and highly mineralized properties, internationally known for its purported healing qualities, the park attracts more than 150,000 visitors annually who journey to soak in its waters.

As a result of significant damage from Hurricane Elsa and Ian, the historic building complex which includes the gift shop, permanent showers, restrooms, changing facilities and lockers is closed to public access. A temporary admissions building and portable restroom trailer has been brought onsite for visitor use. Although concession services are not available at the park, visitors have the option to bring in small coolers for food and drink or can take advantage of local food trucks that are often staged outside the park. Glassware and alcoholic beverages are not allowed.

Master Plan status

A Master Plan for Warm Mineral Springs Park was adopted in April 2019 following extensive stakeholder meetings, community engagement sessions and public surveys. To learn more about the Master Plan and efforts towards implementation of improvements at the park, visit the North Port page for the Master Plan.

Lightning alerts system current status

If you're at Warm Mineral Springs Park when the horn and/or the light activates, the lifeguards will direct you to clear the area and seek shelter indoors for thirty minutes. Each time lightning is detected within eight miles, the alert system timer resets to thirty minutes and begins counting down again.

When the system no longer detects a threat, three five-second blasts from the horn will sound and the strobe light will stop flashing. The lifeguards will announce when the pool/springs reopens.
