The park was created in the 1980s as part of a water treatment project in which wastewater from private households is treated and released into the wetlands. The wetlands remove excess nutrients and minerals. The released water takes approximately 40 days to percolate through the area before flowing into the St. Johns River.

Wekiwa Springs supplies this area with 42 million gallons of cool freshwater daily. Swimming and snorkeling are permitted in the sparkling waters of Wekiwa Springs, where the water stays at a refreshing 72 degrees Fahrenheit year-round. This area is open from 8:00 a.m. until the park closes at sunset. Water tubes, floats, snorkels, goggles, towels, and sunscreen are available at the concessions to make your stay even more enjoyable. Please note that there is no lifeguard on duty.

Orlando Wetlands Park is the result of a wastewater treatment project. The 1,650-acre property is home to miles of trails and dirt roads that are great for hiking and running. The trails pass through the forest, wetland, swamp, and meadow habitats that are home to countless species of plants and birds.

Wekiwa Spring is a stunning natural attraction where you can cool off in the sparkling water or explore the scenic surroundings by canoe or kayak. Enjoy a picnic, spot wildlife and discover Florida’s natural beauty. I would definitely recommend to loop around the spring on a hike in Wekiwa Springs State Park.
