Geneva Wilderness Area
The Geneva Wilderness Area is a 180-acre site that lies to the south of the Geneva community on SR 426 in East Seminole County. The Geneva site contains an array of native Florida plant communities from Mixed Hardwood Swamp and Mesic Flatwoods, Scrubby Flatwoods and a lake system, all supporting an equally diverse collection of wildlife. A hike through these habitats can reward visitors with sighting gopher tortoise, white-tailed deer, wild turkey, grey fox, sandhill cranes, and other wading birds. One primitive campsite is available for reservation. Book online HERE. A large group campsite with large pavilion is also available. Please call 407-665-2211 for more information about booking the large campsite/pavilion combo.

This is a facility that hosts environmental education and outreach for schools, private and public programs, and is available by reservation for meetings and parties. Amenities include a nature center/meeting room with exhibits and live displays, A/V equipment and screen, kitchen facilities (without stove), and restrooms.
