🍃 Hidden Gem: Orlando Wetlands Park offers free tram tours, gets visitors connected to nature

Wetlands park acts as natural filter for reclaimed sewage in orlando, surrounding areas, crystal moyer.

CHRISTMAS, Fla. – Central Florida is home to many beautiful parks, beaches and waterways, but here’s one you may not have heard of: Orlando Wetlands Park. In fact, it’s not even in Orlando, about 25 miles east of Lake Eola in the Christmas area.

This hidden gem is not just an outdoor attraction, but serves an important purpose by naturally filtering reclaimed sewage water.

[TRENDING: Universal Orlando Resort launches ‘epic’ ticket deal | Missing Florida Lyft driver’s car found in North Carolina after chase, officials say | Become a News 6 Insider ]

Paul McNamara is a volunteer leading free tram tours at Orlando Wetlands Park.

“Most take what we see out in our backyards for granted. We see maybe a blue herring in a pond in the backyard, kind of take that for granted,” McNamara said. “When you come out here to the wetlands park, you see how Orlando’s taking care of the water and how this is a working park.”

Riding along the more than 1,600 acres of wetlands, you’re bound to see what may feel like an infinite number of different animals, plants and breathtaking views. Beth Alderson has visited the park several times, traveling from Palm Bay with her family.

“Just being out in nature and seeing all the birds and the water’s beautiful, it’s just a beautiful environment,” Alderman said.

But the park is not there just for looks, it was manmade in the 1980s with an important job: to clean and treat sewage from the Iron Bridge Regional Water Pollution Control Facility more than 15 miles away.

“On a given day, we typically get about 16-18 million gallons a day of reclaimed water that’s flowing into the wetlands,” said Orlando Wetlands Park Manager Mark Sees. “Here at the influent boil, the water boils into the wetlands. This is where the water begins a 30-day journey where it slows down, and this is where now all the wetlands and the plants and the microorganisms and all the wildlife begin to utilize and tie up and polish out the excess nitrogen and phosphorus, thereby cleaning the water.”

The water looks crystal-clear as it flows through the park, attracting strong vegetation, Florida wildlife and visitors from all over.

“I just love the freshness of the air and being outside is my happy place,” visitor Amy Armstrong said.

Some visitors take advantage of the free tram tours, but there’s another way to experience the wetlands by foot.

“If they want to walk, but don’t want to have to walk very far or have to take the tour, the new Cypress Boardwalk puts them right in the middle of the habitat,” McNamara said.

The Cypress Boardwalk is a recent addition spanning about a half-mile, connecting Osprey Boulevard to Limpkin Lane and Bobcat Trail.

Snapping pictures, Angie Vasquez is a frequent visitor and said the boardwalk gets her closer to nature.

“Before, we had to look through binoculars or through a lens to see what’s going on on this side of the wetlands,” Vasquez said. “This is my first time being on the boardwalk, this is amazing. It is a great attraction. A good way to interact with animals and not be too close. It’s less intimidating.”

Some visitors said the boardwalk is in the middle of all of the wetlands activity.

“It cuts right across probably the most wildlife-abundant stretch as far as I can see, of the entire wetlands, and it looks like all the people coming out here with their cameras and binoculars are having an absolute ball. You’re spotting everything from the boardwalk,” said David Liu.

The city of Orlando also opened an education center with permanent and seasonal exhibits that include live animals and multimedia displays. The center is located just west of the parking lot and is open to the public from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays (all year) and Sundays (September through April). It is closed Monday through Thursday.

Just north of the parking lot is the Visitor Pavilion with informational displays, map guides, and informative brochures. Stop there to sign-in and out of the Orlando Wetlands. City leaders hope the new attractions will garner more appreciation for the outdoors.

“This gives you a glimpse of ‘real Florida,’ but you’re still connected with the people. I think that’s what the boardwalk was meant to be, to connect people with nature,” said Imani Kline.

The public can visit the park six days a week Tuesday through Sunday, between sunrise and sunset at 25155 Wheeler Road in Christmas. Parking is located at the entrance to the park and is free of charge. Motorized vehicles are not permitted inside the park.

Only passive recreation activities are permitted at the park. These include 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.

The volunteer-led tram tours at Orlando Wetlands Park are first-come, first-served and free for groups of ten or less:

• Friday and Saturday 9 a.m.-3 p.m. (all year)
• Sundays 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. (September through March)

Alligators Tram Tour

Of all the wildlife at Highlands Hammock State Park , none captures our attention quite like the reptiles. The park’s tram tour allows visitors that opportunity to observe alligators in their natural habitat.

Visitors who take this tour are always thrilled to see alligators lined up basking in the sun on the banks of South Canal on brisk mornings. It’s also not uncommon to see an alligator while hiking through Cypress Swamp or Fern Garden Trail.

It’s truly amazing what wonderful creatures inhabit the park.

Alligators are cold-blooded, which means their body temperature is primarily determined by the temperature of the environment. Other characteristics include the tough scaly skin that protects against desiccation and physical injury, and their young hatching from shelled eggs.

Alligators construct nests in the summer and deposit 20-50 eggs, which hatch around two months. While alligators are considered predators as adults, juveniles may fall prey in their younger years to wading birds, raccoons and even other alligators.

To reduce their vulnerability, young alligators from different nests may stay together for two years in a group referred to as a pod. If food is abundant, a young gator can grow about one foot per year with the greatest growth in the first year.

To learn more about these fascinating reptiles plan a visit to Highlands Hammock to take a tram tour!  

• $15 per adult, $10 per child (ages 6-12), children 5 and under are free.
• Park entry fees apply. Tickets are sold on the day of the tour at the Hammock Inn Concession.

• Trams tours are suspended for the summer. 
• Regularly scheduled tram tours will resume in the fall.
