Kelly Park - Rock Springs
400 E Kelly Park Rd, Apopka, FL 32712, USA
Spring-fed swimming hole and lazy river flowing a steady sixty-eight degrees through limestone-shaded woodland.
This guide to Kelly Park - Rock Springs goes back to 1921, when a lumber company was ready to sell this spring to a buyer who planned to blast the limestone apart for road gravel. It follows a Baltimore surgeon named Howard Kelly, co-founder of Johns Hopkins Hospital, who first saw the spring around 1910 and stepped in a decade later to buy the land himself. Listen for the surgical instrument he invented, one still used in operating rooms today.
