Lake Apopka Loop Trail will have detours next week

A portion of the St. Johns River Water Management District’s Lake Apopka Loop Trail will be temporarily closed from Tuesday, February 18th, through Thursday, February 20th. The closure is due to the construction of a restoration project and is necessary to ensure public safety as the district anticipates heavy equipment in the area. Visitors during these days should follow detour signs.

WHEN: February 18th–20th
