We parked at Kilarney Station, rented a bike, and cycled this paved trail through lovely residential areas, scenic Winter Garden, and on to the Luca Trail that brings you to Newton Park at Lake Apopka where you can walk the pier and, if lucky, watch the crafty alligator stalk birds. There are washrooms there, and lovely restaurants of all kinds in Winter Garden. Visit the Train Museum.

The folks who imagined this place were true visionaries --- birds, birds and more birds. So many species and so many individual birds. The layout makes it easy, just drive and take your time and enjoy the wildlife. We saw mostly shore and water birds, but there were a couple of elevated spots that were fully of warblers, wrens, sparrows and such. This is a most worthy destination.

My favorite place to kayak! This paddle is great because there are several places to stop and enjoy the water. The scenery is beautiful, i saw a few river otters, several types of fish and birds the last time i kayaker here. They do rent canoes at the front of the park, there is also a company that rents glass bottom kayaks. The paddle is a bit tough for beginners as you will start out up stream, but you will coast back going down stream on the way back. Get there early as this place is getting popular, try to avoid weekends if possible.

This 7,000-acre area containing diverse plants and wildlife is also popular for swimming, canoeing, hiking and camping.
Reviewed By Tommcmullen - Tampa, United States
We just stayed overnight in our Winnebago Navion in September ... still pretty hot! The RV and camping sites are large ... site 45 has sewage hook-up along with water and 30/50 AMP power ... good level site. Tons of hiking trails (solid 7 mile loop, 5 mile loop and shorter 1 mile trails) ... good trail from camp grounds to the Spring. The Spring Head is a little crowded in the Summer ... very popular swimming area ... but the trails are almost vacant of activity. You can rent canoes and kayaks ... excellent State Park (like most Florida State Parks) ... well maintained!
