This large, peaceful park on the edge of Lake Apopka (Florida's 4th largest lake) is about a 25-to-30-minute drive from downtown Orlando on a quiet weekend. I love the mature canopy of trees, the wide green spaces, the tranquil vibe, and the new infrastructure just built by Orange County.

I thought they would never get finished with this project, It was one of my favorite places in the area to watch sunsets over the water. I was really impressed with what they created, it was so well thought out and complementary to the local environment; worth the wait with a huge parking area and huge new restroom area. They left the picnic pavilion and the little white archway down by the waterfront but created a wonderful walkway out over the water near the pavilion with a dock and multiple boat slips - an incredible view of the whole lake. The huge new playground area is mostly under cover, and I didn’t make it into the Eco info center yet, next trip. I went back the next evening to check out the reopened boat ramp area, because typical Florida evenings at this time of year are hit or miss for great sunsets due to the rain, looks like they added a new dock area and there is a shaded picnic area to the side. The drive down and the parking lot is newly repaved with a dozen boat parking spots. Despite the rain overhead, in the distance, I caught the gem of a sunset I was waiting for. This side of the park is across the street from the campground, and catch the Lake Apopka Loop Trail that goes through and the drivable Lake Apopka Wildlife Trail is not far away. Definitely worth the wait, and despite the rain I got my sunset. I feel a bit safer now being over top of the water and not just at the edge. Always remember this is a natural environment and wildlife including gators can be ever present.

This park is closed (recreational portion). Do you know how long this will be?

Ronolia Gunn | Sep 18, 2020
Ron Hoffecker | Sep 18, 2020

If the park is closed now, that is very recent, and was most likely done in response to the county order to wear face masks in all public venues. I would guess that it will open again once that order had been rescinded.

Is it wheelchair accessible as in getting to a picnic table for a lunch or viewing the lake? Is it still the season for the butterfly garden?

Bonnie Burgess | Sep 19, 2017
J & R CANTILLON | Sep 19, 2017

Yes the entire park is easily accessible to wheelchairs. September is a great month to see butterflies and the garden is full of them. We saw swallowtails, zebras and several yellow or white varieties less than 2 weeks ago and they should still be going strong.
