Overview


Meandering through Orange, Lake, and Seminole Counties, this "purest form of Central Florida nature," as described by one of its champions, is also bordered by some of the region's most densely populated suburban sprawl. The Wekiva River makes up some of the best protected waters in the state with laws designed for its preservation, as it is recognized as a regional "jewel" and a resource worth saving in public trust as parks, preserves, and forests. Today visitors who paddle, boat, and hike here discover a sanctuary that seems unchanged since its earliest history, when ancient tribes piled fresh water shells, sand, bone, and pot shards to create midden mounds, and when Clay Springs and other early settlements helped draw river traffic and railroads hauled out its forest products. Its cooling springs have provided recreation for generation after generation.

    Florida's Wekiva River

    This book brings to life the times of yesteryear on the river basin. It is very informative and I learned quite a lot of history that I never knew before reading this book. It is all in B/W but still worth a look.
    It is easy reading as there are at least two pictures on every page with a breaf narative on same.
    I hightly recomend reading this book if you live near or around this area as I do.
