Rock Springs Kelly Park

"sounds like neat park and spring. The drive may be a little long, but Kelly Park in Apopka is worth the time in the rental car. It's not just quiet there; it's beautiful, with inviting springs and a gentle river flanked by flourishing greenery that engulfs and transports you to a tropical ecosystem far from the bustle of Orlando. Being still relatively close to the city, though, you may question how Kelly Park doesn't find itself flooded with people. In addition to being kind of hidden just northwest of the Wekiwa Springs State Park, only a limited number of people are permitted to visit the park daily. According to Orange County Park and Recreation, 280 vehicles are admitted at opening (8 a.m. year-round), and only an additional 50 are allowed in at 1 p.m. Even on its busiest days, this secret retreat remains a manageable place to escape from the crowds of Orlando.
