On December 20, 2010 Sarasota
County, in partnership with the city of North Port, purchased
the Warm Mineral Springs Resort. As Florida’s only naturally
formed warm water mineral spring, the constant 87-degree waters
provide soothing comfort that has been enjoyed for generations.

Complementing the spring’s warm waters is the historical
significance of the sight. Warm Mineral Springs is listed in the
National Register of Historical Places, as one of the most
important underwater archaeological sites in America. Artifacts
of prehistoric hunters have been found in the warm mysterious
depths of the spring. Scientists anticipate that future
excavations may reveal findings that may date as far back as
30,000 years, to a time when Warm Mineral Springs was a dry
cave.
