The St. Johns River Water Management District announces the temporary closure of the Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive on Feb. 24-25, citing wet conditions and forecasted rain on Friday night. The closure is a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of visitors.
The 11-mile one-way drive, nestled in the eastern part of the District’s Lake Apopka North Shore property, provides a scenic route from Lust Road to Jones Avenue in Orange County. The drive typically takes 1–3 hours, allowing visitors to explore the natural beauty of the surroundings at their own pace.
The Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive is scheduled to reopen on March 1, resuming its regular operating hours from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and federal holidays.

We appreciate your understanding and look forward to welcoming you back to the Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive for an enjoyable and safe experience.
