Wekiwa Springs State Park is the perfect escape for all you nature lovers. Take your time exploring Florida's natural beauty, paddle along the famous Wekiwa River and even horseback along the trails. There's plenty to explore in this 7,000-square foot state just north of Orlando. Take a dip in the Wekiwa Springs swimming area, which remains 72 degrees year round. You can even reserve one of 60 campsites to spend the night under the stars. Face coverings or masks are required in various areas of the park, including buildings. Arrive early because the park closes when it reaches capacity of 150 cars. Cost of admission is $6 per vehicle.
