LOCAL TIP
"Forty-two million gallons of crystal clear water flow each day from Wekiwa Springs into Wekiwa Springs Run. The run joins with Rock Springs Run to form the beautiful upper Wekiva River. Creeks, later called Seminoles, are the most recent Native Americans to have lived here. Wekiwa means 'spring of water,' and Wekiva means 'flowing water' in the Creek language. Recreational activities have always been a part of the area which had several structures near the spring." – Bill
