bat400 visited on 1st Sep 2009 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 5 See my description in the site listing. I visited very early in the morning, before any tours of the Instone house, so I am unsure if the docents or rangers provide much information about the mound or original Indian village.

**Snyder's Mound** submitted by Flickr : The Mound This is a man made hill in Lake Seminole Park...of course, this is not THE lake that the Park is named after.

A large shell mound in Volusia County, Florida where season clam processing took place. Synder's Mound was created from from 600 to 1100 AD, although other small shell mounds nearby have been dated from as early as 2000BC and as late as 1600 AD.

As with many Florida mounds, early European settlers found Synder's, 13 feet high and 740 by 340 feet, to be one of the few locations high enough above the water table to build. The Instone house was built on the mound in ~1880, but the entire property was owned by the Synder family during most of the 20th century. Because the family did not further develop the property until they donated it, the mound is one of the largest undisturbed mounds in Florida.
The property, Seminole Rest, is now owned and managed by the National Park Service as part of the Canaveral National Seashore. A wheelchair accessible path circles the base of the mound and leads to the house.
