Wekiwa Springs
Surrounded by unusually diverse terrain, Wekiwa Springs has long been one of Central Florida's most heavily visited natural areas. Wekiwa Springs forms the headwaters to the Wekiva River. Both names are derived from Creek Indian words; "wekiwa" meaning "spring of water", and "wekiva" meaning "flowing water." The springs, which pump 42 million gallons of water daily, guarantee delightful swimming in a beautiful setting of woods and grassy meadows. The nature trails are second to none, and there are trails accessible to hikers, canoeists and horseback riders. The park also features a wonderful camping area, picnic areas and great freshwater fishing.
Directions: From Orlando, take I-4 East to Exit 49, SR-434. Travel west on SR-434 9/10 mile to Wekiva Springs Road. Turn right on Wekiva Springs Road and travel 4-3/10 miles to Wekiva Circle. Turn right on Wekiva Circle and travel 1/10 mile to the park entrance.

The Orlando area hot spots don't end there. The list of
dinner theatres, water parks, and themed adventure tours that are
competing for business is a long one. Even if you want to water ski
behind a cable or skydive indoors on a pocket of air, Orlando has what
you are looking for.
Universal Drive is a tourist destination for night owls. This lively thoroughfare is packed with recognizable restaurants, bars, clubs, and tourist friendly shopping. Tourism is big business in Orlando but it is not the only game in town. Locals enjoy some great nightlife as well. Orange Avenue and Church Street are the center of a bar and music scene that comes alive when the sun goes down. Orlando is an example of a prioritized and carefully laid out city. It's not difficult to sell Orlando as a great Vacation destination. It is number one in America for good reason.
