Wekiva Springs
If you’ve never been to Wekiva, then you’re probably missing a real treat. We’re “beach people” mostly and look for any and every weekend we can to get to the beach. But with gas prices being what they are, I looked around this weekend for alternatives. It didn’t take me long to find Wekiva. We packed a picnic and our snorkel gear.
I wasn’t quite prepared for the TEMPERATURE of the springs and found it a bit shocking! But after we got in, we quickly adjusted. Although I could tell that some people found it a bit too cold for them… if goosebumps and chattering teeth were any indication. It was a hot day too… so you would think the water would be refreshing. But I understand it’s the in the low 70s and many of us are spoiled by nearly 80 degree pools… aka bath water.
A word to the wise… get there really early or plan to get in in the late afternoon. The park will close due to overcrowding and then you have to play a waiting game to get in.
Next stop… Rock Springs!
