WEKIVA SPRINGS STATE PARK – Apopka, FL
Very nice weather for a short 2-mile bike ride to the springs swimming hole. The next day did a kayak ride on the clear Wekiva, seeing gators, turtles and noisy people. Went up Rock Springs Run. Later visited a museum and driving back saw a wild turkey and fox squirrel. 450 mi RT

Park Info: 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. They left a number of mounds that are still visible today. The main spring pumps approximately 42 million gallons of water each day. Wekiwa Springs State Park opened to the public in 1970.
