Top Date Idea at DeLeon Springs!
Perfect place for pancakes, kayaking, swimming, and more. Here’s how it works:

Take your date to DeLeon Springs for some pancakes, swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, hiking, or just laying out.
- You’ll need some swim stuff and walking shoes.
- It will cost you about $40 and 4 hours of time.
Our Recommendation
Just because we did it, doesn’t mean you have to.
Pancakes
This place is one of a kind. It’s built inside an old sugar mill. It’s out in the middle of nowhere, so be ready for a drive. Once you arrive, you walk down a long sidewalk and there it is: The Sugar Mill. Here you get to make your own (all you can eat) pancakes. There is a hot griddle right in the middle of the table for you to cook on. Not only pancakes though, you can cook your own french toast, eggs, grilled cheese… pretty much anything can be grilled on their menu. It’s a fun and relaxing way to get away from the business of the day.
Activities
Kayaking: After you finished your late brunch, you can rent a kayak right from the restaurant and take a paddle down the river with your date. You don’t need any special training, just launch the boat and relax. Hiking: You can also walk around the hiking trail where you will be able to enjoy the scenery, climb across fallen trees, view a monkey island, and much more. Swimming: And don’t forget, DeLeon Springs has…you guessed it, a freshwater spring. The view is amazing, but be prepared for some cold 72 degree water! (That’s cold when you’ve been in the sun all day.)
