    Boardwalk that leads to the lake
    Shawn S.

    Great relaxing trip out here with the family. Several miles of shades hiking trails. Nice shaded area for with picnic tables. We also ate lunch in a screened in spot. The family loved it.

    If you follow the Haselton trail it leads to a boardwalk and ends here where you can sit and watch the wild life.

    Trimble Park is a scenic recreational area in Mt. Dora. It is located on a peninsula which was a…read moreformer isthmus between two lakes, Lake Carlton and Lake Beauclaire. The park was created in 1926 when Sadie Conner Trimble who was the first postmistress of Lake Jem and her husband R.J. Trimble donated 71 acres to create Trimble Park. In October 1978, Orange County purchased another 31.5 acres from a failed development and used it to create the campground area. The main feature of the park is the picnic grove and playground at the end of the road. My favorite part of Trimble Park however was the hiking area where there is a 1.3 mile loop trail suitable for all ages and hiking abilities. The trail takes you around the perimeter of the triangular shaped park and down to Lake Beauclair where ancient oaks ring the lake. Over the trail are mature wild citrus trees which produce fruit and blooms throughout the year. Birds you might encounter include osprey, ibis, red-winged blackbirds, and herons. Trimble Park also has a 15 site campground for groups, trailers. and single tents that is set around a small cove along Lake Carlton. Here you will also find fishing decks and a launch for paddlers. It is easy to see why this park is a favorite outdoor recreational destination for families, campers, and nature enthusiasts. Whether you're looking to camp, hike, fish, or simply relax, this park provides a welcome and peaceful retreat in Central Florida.

    Nice park with a campground. The bathrooms are so nice and clean, better than any gas station and…read moremany restaurants! There is a boat dock and walking paths with doggy doo bags. 2 playgrounds and multiple pavilions, picnic tables and benches. We saw a gator but I didn't take a photo. 4 stars because there wasn't any maps of the walking trails and limited signage. We got lost and had to use a maps app to find out way back.

    Wekiva Springs is absolutely beautiful and one of my favorite spots in Central Florida. The water…read morestays a refreshing 72 degrees year-round, which makes it perfect no matter the season. The springs themselves are stunning--clear, clean, and so relaxing to swim in. If you're not in the water, there are also walking trails where you can enjoy nature and get some fresh air. They offer kayaking as well, which is such a fun way to explore the area and take in the scenery. There's also a snack bar on-site, which is super convenient if you want to grab something quick without leaving. Whether you're going for a relaxing day or something a little more active, Wekiva Springs has a little bit of everything. Highly recommend checking it out!

    It was a fine outing on a winter afternoon. Place is full with littles. I decided not to go in the…read morewater and chilled in watering hole cafe sitting area. I ordered a boca burger and fries which was edible but next time I will bring my own food. Squirrels were extremely rowdy and did not let me eat in peace as they wanted a share of fries which I refused to give. I will never come here in summers as I can imagine how packed this place would be. My kids rented a canoe for 50$ for two hours to go to wekiwa island and they ate there . If you are not a swim or water person there is not much to do other than that.. water is a natural spring and pretty but also smells in areas .. Good place for little kids but not for me

We kayaked, canoed and rented a stand up paddle board to play in the lake with. They sell firewood, ice and charcoal for cooking while you camp, and the sanitation station is easy to use and accessible. We used our generator 7 am to 10 pm, and then slept in the peaceful quiet hours. We will 100-% be back!!

    Let me start off with saying I've been camping here for years , since my son was 7 yrs old, and…read morebecause it was it was my favorite campground, but years ago it was very well kept , the sites were cleaned minutes after people left the bathrooms were spotless , even the bear boxes eere blown out with a leaf blower and firepits were cleaned out and raked . The management was also great back then , but now , the male "camp host" that's there now seems to have some issues with people and not fixing or cleaning bathhouses, they're filthy , broken toilet seats covered in crap and broken stall latches hanging on by one lose screw that I tightened with a key, the walls and floors are filthy and reak of urine , they haven't been touched by bleach Ina long . Last year the same camp host guy , saw me walk by his camper on the second loop , I waved , he was sitting talking to another man and he just looked at me and I kept walking , he hops on his cart and comes up next to me and asks me if Im staying there ,says they have people sneaking in , and asks who I'm staying with , what I'm driving, I was 53 last year camping solo ,I was pissed but I just blew it off. This year I brought my son ,now 20 on our last camping trip before he leaves for the Army, my son was sitting on my $1400 kayak that I trailered in and the camp host saw us as we were unloading in out site, so he goes up to my son while he's by himself and asks if he stole someone's firewood and asks him what site he was in . I don't know what the guy's problem is but they need to get someone else in there, he has issues , we left early because we went there to relax and that was ruined because he pissed me off , my son said he didn't care but there's was no reason to hassle him or myself before. I'll probably find another campground if you don't want to pay too much for campsites and firewood and you don't want to smell urine and get hassled by that guy.
