Product Details
Lake Woodruff is located in west Volusia County, Florida, near DeLeon Springs. A unique feature of the refuge is that it surrounds the 2,200 acre Lake Woodruff, which lies almost in the center of the refuge. Prior to Spanish exploration, this area was inhabited by Timucuan Indians. Major Joseph Woodruff acquired property around DeLeon Springs in 1823, hence the name Lake Woodruff. John James Audubon visited this area in 1832. The refuge is included in a corridor of ecologically sensitive lands along the St. John's River which is being preserved.
