FLORIDA PLACES AND DESTINATIONS - DELTONA
Centrally located between Orlando and Daytona Beach, St. Johns River Country encompasses 14 distinct communities along the St. Johns River, each thriving with historical, cultural and natural charm.
Deltona is one of the newest cities in the county and enjoys influences from many diverse cultures. It is home to the Deltona Arts & Historical Center that pays tribute to the area’s diverse history through art exhibitions, performing arts and cultural events.
Anglers from around the world visit St. Johns River Country for its trophy black bass fishing. Abundant freshwater fish are found in the area’s lakes, springs, and, of course, in the mighty St. Johns River, including crappie, blue gill, shell cracker, catfish and the ever-popular bass. Several State Parks offer boat slips, and area marinas offer boat rentals, guided fishing trips and the necessities for a day’s excursion on the water with tackle, rods, reels and licenses available.
DeBary, DeLand, Deltona and Orange City are home to some of the most pristine golf courses in Central Florida. Designed by golf’s finest architects, St. Johns River Country courses offer rolling hills, lush fairways and an abundance of trees, not to mention the pristine lakes that serve as water hazards.
