Wekiwa Springs State Park, Apopka (near Orlando) Wekiwa Springs offers 7800 acres of wild scenery that show how central Florida looked when the Timucuan Indians speared fish in the spring-fed creeks and stalked deer in the uplands. Wekiwa Springs is the headwaters for the beautiful Wekiva River. The main spring area pumps out 42 million gallons of water daily. A number of threatened and endangered plant and animal species are found at the park, including the Southern black bear and the American bald eagle. Popular activities include swimming in the cool clear waters of Wekiwa Springs and canoeing on the Wekiva River. A group camp with cabins, meeting hall and dining facility, a family campground, and primitive youth camping area are available.
