About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description↓

DeLeon Springs State Park is located ENE of The Villages in Volusia County. The park has a natural spring with 72 degree water year round. The spring has a lot of historical significance from the times of Native Americans until the mid 1900s when it was a tourist destination. Today the park hosts the Sugar Mill Pancake House where you can make your own pancakes on the table griddle. It also conducts eco/history boat tours. In this video, Jennifer and I make pancakes, explore the spring's historical grounds and go on a boat tour to see wildlife.
