Great place for a swim. Remember to bring goggles or a snorkel. Also great opportunity to canoe or kayak up the river. Best to get there early if you want to see Alligators. Otherwise plenty or turtles and bird life. I would recommend bringing your own food and water.

Visited on a Monday in March (got a reservation online the day before). Staff were incredibly kind and helpful. Bring a mask and snorkel if you can. Get there early as it gets busy by 11 or 12. Walked on some of the trails. Swimming is limited to the springs area. Canoes and kayaks are available to rent if you want to explore downstream.

Went with my dad in September to celebrate me coming to America 20 years ago and I was absolutely astonished the Clearwater, the kayaks how everybody does things it was a little troubling in the beginning part of payments. we had an amazing time absolutely definitely come back here with highly recommend bringing a packed lunch. Bring your photography camera. There are gators and there’s monkeys 🐒 in water

We visited on a cool, cloudy day so the park was quiet. It was so lovely and peaceful. I can imagine it gets pretty busy here though. The water was so clear and the trails were great. There is also canoe and kayak rentals. We stopped by the cafe for a water. The prices were reasonable and there was a good selection of choices. A reserved entry pass is required but the process is quick and easy.

I visited Wekiwa Springs State Park recently, and it was a really refreshing experience. The springs are clear and beautiful, and the surrounding trails make it a great spot for a walk or a short hike. I spent some time relaxing by the water, and it felt peaceful and quiet away from the city. The park is well-kept, and the staff were friendly when I had questions. I’d definitely go back for another visit.
