Lower Wekiva River Preserve State Park, Natural preserve along the Wekiva River in Lake County, United States

Lower Wekiva River Preserve State Park covers 18,000 acres (7,300 ha) in Lake and Seminole counties, with six miles (9.7 km) of frontage on the St. Johns River. It is split into a northern section entered from Pine Lakes off S.R. 44 and a southern section entered off S.R. 46, nine miles west of Sanford. The two parts form a wildlife corridor along the Wekiva and St. Johns Rivers to the Ocala National Forest.

The park lies along six miles of the St. Johns River in Lake and Seminole counties and forms a wildlife corridor to the Ocala National Forest along the Wekiva and St. Johns rivers. It is divided into a northern section entered from Pine Lakes off State Road 44 and a southern section off State Road 46, nine miles west of Sanford.

The northern section, entered from Pine Lakes off S.R. 44, holds the horse stalls and corrals and the primitive horse-camping area; the 18 miles of multiuse trails start there. The southern section off S.R. 46, nine miles west of Sanford, is closed to horseback riding.

The park has two separate sections. The northern entrance, in Pine Lakes off State Road 44, leads to the multiuse trails and the primitive horse and backpack camping areas. The southern entrance lies off State Road 46, nine miles west of Sanford, and opens 5,000 acres; no horseback riding is allowed there. Neither section has water access, so canoeists must launch outside the park.

The park forms a wildlife corridor linking the Wekiva and St. Johns Rivers to the Ocala National Forest, and it borders Konomac Lake. Its two sections are entered separately: the northern entrance in Pine Lakes off S.R. 44, the southern one off S.R. 46, nine miles west of Sanford.
