Lake Woodruff National Wildlife Refuge in DeLeon Springs is one of my special places that I found when I moved to Florida in 1977. It so peaceful and it feels like you are going back in time when you walk the dikes there. It has many special critters & birds and I have seen otters, bobcat, many bird species and even a pair of Whooping Cranes a few years ago. West Volusia Audubon Society has also made it their special place where we built the Audubon Lookout and feature Sunday walks in the winter.
