Wekiwa Mill Creek Loop is a 1.6-mile easy hike in Wekiwa Springs State Park in Florida, managed by State Park and Recreation. It is a point-to-point route with a flat profile and a total elevation gain of 10 feet, so it's a short, low-effort outing. Winter and early spring are the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show January highs around 71°F and lows near 44°F, while July highs reach about 93°F. Bikes and horses are not allowed on this trail. The loop sits within the park, so it pairs easily with other trails. Wekiwa East-West is about 1.4 miles away, and the Wekiwa Volksmarch Trail and Wekiwa Main Hiking Trail are each about 1.5 miles off. For a longer outing, the Sabal Point Sanctuary Trail is roughly 4.3 miles away.
