Located at the headwaters of Wekiva River, the beautiful vistas within this park offer a glimpse of what central Florida looked like when Timucuan Indians fished and hunted these lands. The Wekiwa Springs was beautifully surrounded by lush tropical vegetation in the most beautiful greens. The spring was home to a few fish and lots of turtles and many local swimmers enjoying the fresh, cool water. As mermaids visiting the spring we got a lot of attention, particularly from all of the kids who yelled, "Mermaid"!! and came swimming after us. It was a great deal of fun and a beautiful backdrop for underwater photos and video. Another epic day spent with friends.
