Weekiwachee Preserve, Florida, United States
4.0 (29 reviews) Spent 1-2 hours Ranking #8 in Spring Hill Points of Interest & Landmarks • Scenic Walking Areas
A nature lover’s dream
Not to be confused with the Weekiwachee river, the preserve is a wildlife area that has numerous trails through flat, mostly sunny nature. Wild turkeys, deer, gopher tortoises, water birds, eagles and other wildlife live in the preserve. Best times to see wildlife are early morning or near dusk. This area is not a park. It is a nature preserve. This means basically no amenities. I live here and run in the preserve all the time but I’d never use the one bathroom. Numerous “hills” can be climbed if you want a nice view. Plan on how you will take out your own trash if you visit because there are no trash cans.

Fantastic Place to Walk
I spent a week in the area in Feb. Many days during that week I had the opportunity to walk with my best friend. This place has beautiful views of small blue lakes. Climb one of the hills in the preserve and you will view the Gulf of Mexico. Most people in the preserve respect the beauty and clean up after themselves and their dogs. For those that don't...please do!

The Mermaids are back
At this writing, March 2021, due to Covid19 restrictions, the access to the park , for the Mermaid show and to swim are limited. Check the web and schedule before going. We got there 45min. before opening, and got the last 4 < first come> tickets for the show. If you're in the area, come see it, but don't go too far out of your way. The rest of the park is small, but well set for milling around, if you're not going to get in the water.
