Back in Time
If you want to see what Florida used to look like, before houses and stores and theme parks took over, take a walk on the trails at Wekiwa Springs State Park. There are about 17 miles of trails in the park, so there is plenty of room to roam. You'll share many of the trails with people on bicycles and horses, but you may find yourself alone much of the time because... ... of the canoes!
Winding Rivers
Canoeing is the biggest draw at Wekiwa Springs State Park. There are miles of river to paddle or to simply float down. The water is clear, the trees make a cool canopy and the sky is blue. You can start at the head of the springs, paddle down the river and then take a shuttle back up to "Canoe Beach" - your starting point.
Campground Tales
There is also camping at Wekiwa Springs State Park, and it's one of the few Florida State Parks that actually allows pet camping! Not to worry, there is a campground for people without pets, too.
