Econ River Wilderness Area

MORE INFORMATION: Management Plan - Natural Resources & Trails

The Econ River Wilderness Area is a 240 acre wooded site located on the Seminole/Orange County line south of the city of Oviedo, on the west side of the Econlockhatchee River. A walk on the approximately 3 miles of trails will take you through habitats such as pine flatwoods, sandhill, and river swamp. Wildlife observed on this site includes the great horned owl, white-tailed deer, and golden mouse. Benches are provided at a bend in the river so you can rest and enjoy the quiet serenity of this little piece of natural Florida.

This site's close proximity to urban areas is sure to make it a popular destination for those seeking to photograph wildlife, bird watch, or just take a quiet walk through the woods. Please remember that all plants and animals are protected and to increase your chances of seeing them please be quiet, keep all pets on a leash, and pack out any trash/waste you bring in.

The proximity of this site to the University of Central Florida, future Seminole Community College East Campus, and a future middle school provides an excellent classroom for these students. Through the Green Seminole project, these students will have the opportunity to participate in the hands-on management of this wilderness area.
