Question: Where is the “Original Fountain of Youth” in Florida?

Answer: Warm Mineral Springs Park

Tucked away in Southwest Florida in Sarasota County, visitors can find the only prehistoric warm springs in the state. The massive pool was formed within a deep sinkhole in North Port, and it’s a popular spot with locals. The springs are said to have healing properties and are known as the “Original Fountain of Youth,” though there are other attractions that make similar claims.
