Summer is here with all of its sunshine, heat and humidity. The hot summer days are also the ideal time to take a dip into some inviting “bubbling water” to refresh and renew as the thermometer creeps to the 100-degree mark. (FYI: “Wekiwa” is an Indian word for “bubbling water”)
Wekiwa Springs State Park is a delightful destination about an hour north of Orlando and its major attractions. It’s a great place to escape for a more natural adventure … where nature, history, beauty and clear, cool spring water join forces to give you a welcomed “Old Florida” experience.
Once inhabited by indigenous Timucuans and Native American Creeks who hunted and fished the region, Wekiwa Springs State Park sits on 7,800 majestic acres complete with nature trails, wildlife, a 72-degree (year around) freshwater spring and authentic Florida waterways.
The Wekiwa Spring discharges approximately 45 million gallons of cool, crystal clear water daily and is joined upstream by the Rock Springs Run, both form the headwaters of the Wekiva River, a 17-mile tributary of the St. Johns River. [Note: Spelling for Wekiwa Springs and the Wekiva River are different.]
