Wekiwa Springs State Park is a popular state park in central Florida, a short drive away from world-famous attractions. Here at the springs there is peace and quiet, the pleasure of canoeing and kayaking on the Wekiva River, swimming and snorkeling in the Wekiwa Spring, and hiking one of many trails that range from 0.8 miles long to 13.5 miles in length, and which accommodate hikers, cyclists, and horseback riders.
Despite the proximity to an urban setting, there is excellent fishing here, and much wildlife, including wild turkeys, bobcats, white-tailed deer, and the Florida black bear. A concession sells hot dogs, burgers, snacks, cold drinks, and souvenirs, and the interpretative center has interesting information about the park’s wildlife and eco-system. There are sixty campsites with full hookups, and a primitive equestrian campsite where visitors may rest overnight with their horses.
