The park is named for its several springs, which the Creek Indians used for centuries to heal the sick.

Indian Springs is thought to be the oldest state park in the nation.

Visitors are still allowed to sample the park's spring water, all the while enjoying swimming, fishing, and boating.

Several structures within the park were built during the Great Depression by members of the Civilian Conservation Corps.

The park also contains a 105-acre (0.42 km2) lake consistently stocked with fish, as well as a 3⁄4 mile (1.2 km) nature trail.
