Orlando Wetlands Park is located in Christmas, a man-made wetland designed to provide advanced treatment for reclaimed water from the City of Orlando and other local cities.
Visitors can visit the Park seven days a week, between sunrise and sunset, to enjoy primitive and passive activities, including photography, wildlife viewing, hiking, the use of non-motorized bicycles and horseback riding.
Vehicular traffic, boating, swimming, flying of drones, hunting and fishing are NOT allowed.
Stop by the Visitor Pavilion with informational displays, map guides of the Park, and informative brochures. Stop there to sign-in and out of the park.
