Rock Springs Run is an 8-mile river that forms the boundary between Wekiwa Springs State Park and Rock Springs Run State Reserve. Rock Springs Run eventually flows into the Wekiva River, which then runs 15 miles and empties into the St. Johns River. The Wekiva River Basin includes Wekiwa Springs Run, Rock Springs Run, the Wekiva River, Blackwater Creek and Seminole Creek. These waterways are the first congressionally designated National Wild and Scenic River basin in Florida. The Ethel Cemetery, located in Rock Springs Run State Reserve, is the oldest known cemetery in Lake County, built in 1880. The cemetery was located in the town of Ethel, which was a railroad stop town formerly known as Moody. Citizen support organization volunteers constructed a new entrance and fence for the cemetery, which contains four intact grave markers.

Rock Springs Guest Ranch was a phenomenal experience. The staff was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and helpful, and the horses were very calm and easy to ride. The natural Florida landscape that the trail takes you through is breathtaking and special. We went on the 8am ride, and during the summer heat, it was good to get out early. Completely worth the price!
The experience was everything we hoped for and more! The guides were great. The horses were healthy, well cared for, and well trained. The trail was peaceful & scenic. We can't wait to do it again!
