Kelly Park - Orlando Hotels .com

Gushing from a cave at the rate of 26,000 gallons of water a minute, Rock Springs flows from the base of a 17-foot limestone cliff. One of the most unique swimming areas in Florida, the headspring is located in Kelly Park, part of the Orange County Park System. The spring empties into the Wekiva River and has long been considered one of the best canoe and tubing runs in Florida. A unique swimming area has been created from Rock Springs secondary spring, and Kelly Park offers a wonderful picnic area with tables, grills, volleyball courts, playgrounds and restroom facilities. Nineteen dedicated RV camping sites with full hook-ups, and 2 dedicated tent camping sites are available within the park, and the campground is located in a beautifully shaded area with a bathhouse containing restrooms and hot showers available to guests. A two-mile nature trail circles the spring, and the park also features a concession stand offering snacks and limited groceries.
