Volusia County high hills

Deltona

Built on ancient sand dunes that are among the highest hills in Volusia County, Deltona is fringed by public lands in the surrounding floodplains

Juvenile Florida scrub-jay

The East Central Regional Rail Trail crosses the southern boundary of Deltona. It is part of the statewide Coast to Coast Trail, a major paved bike path between Titusville and St. Petersburg.

Deltona is also home to Lyonia Preserve, where Florida scrub-jays abound in scrub habitat around the high point of the county.
