The Journey
Rock Springs Run
Discover the pristine beauty of Rock Springs Run, an 8-mile river that serves as a natural boundary between Wekiwa Springs State Park and Rock Springs Run State Reserve. As part of the Wekiva River Basin, a nationally recognized Wild and Scenic River, this waterway offers an unparalleled opportunity to kayak or canoe through crystal-clear waters teeming with wildlife. Imagine gliding past lush, subtropical vegetation, catching glimpses of playful otters, sunning turtles, and a variety of bird species. The journey culminates as Rock Springs Run merges with the Wekiva River, adding to the river's storied passage to the St. Johns. This is more than just a paddle; it's an immersion into Florida's untouched wilderness.
Ethel Cemetery
Step back in time at the Ethel Cemetery, the oldest known burial ground in Lake County, established in 1880. Located within Rock Springs Run State Reserve, this serene site offers a poignant glimpse into the lives of early settlers who shaped this land. Once part of the bustling railroad stop town of Ethel (formerly Moody), the cemetery now stands as a quiet testament to their enduring legacy. Wander among the four remaining grave markers and reflect on the stories of those who rest here, their lives intertwined with the history of this unique Florida landscape. The recent restoration efforts by dedicated volunteers ensure that this historical treasure continues to be preserved and honored for generations to come.
