Sanlando Springs:Longwood,Fla. Seminole County





To those of you who know, this area of Longwood & Sanlando is known as Wekiva Springs.
It is one of many places that i love about Seminole County. Long ago its name was Sanlando
Springs & was a popular place back in the 30's & 40's for the likes of people like President
Theodore Roosevelt. As you know he spent some of his time in a wheel chair & believed that
the springs provide healing properties which later made this area a hit with tourists. Today, after
the massive development that occurred to this area from 1970-on, there is only  small areas
left where you can get that feel like your one with nature. I would visit one of these such places
& experience such a time of long ago, watching river otters, birds, & enjoy a dip once-in- while
in the river & spring well. It was especially great after a tough day of basketball, or an injury.
Also, one of the best things about the water is that it stays a continuous 55 degrees all year
around. But be careful if you find this place...there is a native wander who you may stumble on
who will interrupt you moment of peace.
