The St. Johns River Water Management District announces the temporary closure of the Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive beginning today, Friday, September 6 until Sunday, September 8 due to localized flooding. 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 Friday, September 13, resuming its regular operating hours from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and federal holidays.
