Lower Wekiva River Preserve State Park

Lower Wekiva River Preserve State Park encompasses 18,000 acres along six miles of the St. Johns River in central Florida, with protected land in Lake and Seminole counties that helps connect wildlife habitat between the Wekiva and St. Johns Rivers and toward Ocala National Forest. Its significance lies in its expansive undeveloped river landscape and its role as refuge and travel corridor for species such as black bears, river otters, alligators, wood storks, and sandhill cranes. Divided into northern and southern sections, the park supports low-impact recreation through multiuse trails, hiking, biking, canoeing, equestrian camping, backpack camping, and wildlife viewing.
