Kelly Park

Kelly Park is located at 400 East Kelly Rd in Apopka, FL. The park is part of the network of parks that make up the Orange County parks and recreation district. Admission to the state parks is $1 for adults and children. Kids under the age of 5 are free.

Kelly Park totals 248 acres and is built around Rock Springs. The springs are initially a fast flowing stream that slows down into a trickle. The park is very popular with locals because you can ride down the stream on a tube. The tube ride lasts about 25 minutes total. There are several nicely groomed exit points along the side of the river that allow people to get out and go back for another ride or to leave the stream and enjoy the rest of the park.

Tube rentals are available just outside the park entrance for a modest $5 a day price. At about the halfway point of the ride there is a network of pools and lagoons that form the centerpiece of the park. This is a popular swimming hole and can be somewhat crowded. This is a great place for kids and there a lot of them running around so if you're not use to kids you may want to go to another location.
