I took a trek around 3 of Central Florida's best parks this afternoon. I'm almost reluctant to share too much information because I don't want the parks spoiled by too many visitors. The image above was shot at the serene Katie's Landing on the shore of the Wekiva River near where it discharges into the St. Johns River near Debary.
Blue Spring State Park
Hundreds of Manatees slowly make the trek into Blue Spring every night to escape the cool waters of the St. Johns River. Manatees have difficulty in water colder than 66° (19° C). The waters of Blue Spring, in Orange City, are 72° (22° C) year round making them a perfect natural warming station for manatees. Manatees are herbivores and unfortunately there is nothing to eat in the blue spring run (no aquatic plants) so the manatees must exit the spring by day to eat then rush back to the warm waters by nightfall through most of February, generally the coolest month in Florida.

Adjacent to the worst traffic nightmare in Florida, the I-4 bridge over Lake Monroe (in Volusia-Seminole Counties) is Lake Monroe Wayside Park. It offers some history, some great vistas and peace and quiet only a short distance from the infamous I-4 nightmare bridge.
Further to the north there is another park on the Debary side of the river that connects with the Spring-to-Spring Trail which follows a greenway all the way up to Gemini Springs in Debary. Definitely one of Florida's finest despite the swirl of humanity all around.
