DeLand, FLorida located in Volusia County, Florida,
may be one of Florida's best kept secrets. Imagine a college campus
classified as a National Historic District. Add to that a downtown brimming
with notable gift shops and restaurants. Then place it between the shores of
the St. Johns River and the silvery surf of the Atlantic Ocean.
Finally, picture all this only
25 minutes from Daytona Beach and about 40 minutes from Orlando. DeLand
delights visitors with all the possibilities and hospitality a small
Southern town can offer.
Tree shaded streets adorned
with handsome homes cocoon the campus of Florida's oldest private college,
Stetson University.
Stetson's presence enhances the community's rich cultural offerings with
theater, recitals, museums and a vibrant speakers program.
Nearby parks offer camping,
picnicking, swimming, scuba diving and canoeing. Get a peek at Manatees in
Blue
Springs, or boat over to
Hontoon Island
State Park to see a cypress swamp on the St. Johns River. Explore the
early settler's history at
DeLeon
Springs Recreational Area, where you can griddle your own pancakes at
The
Old Spanish Sugar Mill, then paddle a canoe through the wilderness.
When you need a beach for
cruising or sunning, drive on the sands of Daytona, or seek out a calmer
shore in New Smyrna Beach.
