Manager's Message

What better way to cool off during the hot days of summer than to submerse yourself in the natural spring water of Wekiwa Springs. It’s near constant 72 degrees is refreshing and invigorating. Canoeing can open the door to observe wildlife in their environment, wading birds, otters, turtles and even the alligator are present along the Wekiva River. Hiking on the trails, camping, wildlife observation, and picnicking are activities that are well suited for the whole family, please come and celebrate Florida State Parks month during July, and enjoy what nature has to offer.

We do 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.
