Manager's Message
Wekiwa Springs is such a wonderful resource for you to enjoy. Take a dip in the cool 72 degree water, to get some relief form the heat of the day. Canoe down the Wekiva River and see the sights and sounds nature has to offer. Hike down one of the trails or have an overnight adventure in the campground. Leave your cell phones behind, escape traffic and relax in your state park. If you do plan to camp with us please take necessary precautions dealing with wildlife. We do have a population of Florida Black Bears and they can become a nuisance if their behavior is interrupted by humans.
We recommend while planning your visit to arrive early on the weekends and holidays because we do close the park once we have reached our carrying capacity.
We look forward to serving you and your family.
- Warren Poplin, Park Manager
Welcome to Wekiwa Springs State Park
Located at the headwaters of the Wekiva River, the beautiful vistas within this park offer a glimpse of what Central Florida looked like when Timucuan Indians fished and hunted these lands. Just one hour from most central Florida attractions, Wekiwa Springs offers visitors the opportunity to relax in a natural setting, enjoy a picnic, or take a swim in the cool spring. Canoeists and kayakers can paddle along the Wekiva River and Rock Springs Run. Thirteen miles of trails provide opportunities for hiking, bicycling, and horseback riding. Options for camping include a full facility campground and primitive camping areas. Canoe and kayak rentals are available. For information about rentals, call (407) 884 4311.
