Rock Springs Run


Sand pine scrub, pine flatwoods, swamps, and miles of pristine shoreline along Rock Springs Run and the Wekiva River make this reserve a refuge of natural beauty. Visitors can enjoy bicycling, hiking, or horseback riding along 17 miles of trails. Guided trail rides and horse rentals are available. The trail may be closed temporarily on days when reserve staff is conducting prescribed burns.

Each fall, areas of the reserve are closed to equestrians during weekends of special hunts. Primitive campsites on Rock Springs Run and the Wekiva River are accessible by canoe only. Equestrian camping facilities are available. Campsites can be reserved by calling Wekiwa Springs State Park. Located in Sorrento off State Road 46 the reserve is open from 8:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. daily.

There is no swimming allowed at Rock Springs Run. The Hammock House on site is now available for people to rent out for overnight camping. The house has three bedrooms and full amenities. The horse barn nearby has facilities as well as horse rentals and guides who can take visitors on a guided ride through the trails. The park is located in Sorrento which is about 30 miles north of Orlando. From Interstate 4 take exit 101C and go west on State Road 46.
