Recreation
In addition to many lakes and rivers, Apopka is surrounded by natural springs. Three miles east of town is Wekiva Spring's State Park. Its large area of unspoiled woodlands make it the largest park in Central Florida. The beautiful main springhead, where swimming and canoeing is enjoyed, bubbles up forty-eight million gallons of crystal clear water each day.

Six miles north of town is Rock Springs. The county-maintained park area surrounds a natural spring, from which flow's twenty-six thousand gallons of water each minute. Magnificent oaks and hickories drench the 200-acre park in cool shade.

Camping, picnicking and swimming are all available in both natural attractions. The combined parks in Wekiva's GEO-Basin totals approximately forty thousand acres. The Wekiva River begins in the basin and flows into the St. Johns River (one of only two north-flowing rivers in the Northern Hemisphere) near Sanford and continues northward, eventually emptying into the Atlantic Ocean near Jacksonville.

There are several golf courses within ten miles of town. Orlando, twelve miles away, offers almost every cultural advantage. Great restaurants, theaters, libraries, symphony orchestra events, and a good program of celebrities. The Disney World/Epcot/MGM complex and Universal Studios are approximately thirty-five miles south of Apopka. With the recent completion of the 429 beltway, they are both only minutes away from our hotels, RV parks, and campgrounds.
