The Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive is 11 miles of pure birding bliss. 🚗🦅

Open Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and federal holidays, this one-way drive takes about 1–3 hours and winds through one of Florida’s top three birding hotspots — with an incredible 377 recorded bird species calling the area home. ⭐

More than 150 species regularly use the property during the cooler months, making it one of the best times of year for unforgettable sightings — from raptors and waterfowl to rare migrants. ❤️

Grab your binoculars, pack your patience, and enjoy one of Florida’s best free wildlife experiences. 🌿✨
