Apopka Spring, Natural spring in Apopka, Florida.
Apopka Spring is a natural water source in Florida that feeds into the Wekiwa River with water that stays at a consistent temperature throughout the year. The clear water supports swimming and provides access to walking trails through the surrounding wooded area and river landscape.
Native peoples relied on this water source for sustenance and settlement for many centuries before European colonization of the region. The area eventually became part of a protected state park system in the 20th century.
Local residents gather at the spring every weekend to participate in outdoor activities and connect with the natural environment.
Visiting during early morning hours offers a quieter experience before the area becomes crowded with other swimmers and explorers. Bring plenty of water and wear sturdy shoes since the trails are natural and can be uneven underfoot.
The water maintains the same temperature year-round regardless of season or weather outside, making it a predictable place for swimming. This consistency means visitors get the same refreshing conditions whether they come in summer or winter.
