jjduck Posted June 20, 2021 #1 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Hello, I am sensitive to mosquitoes, but we love the outdoors! We will be in Orlando in mid-November. We are looking for parks for hiking or recreational walking. Have done some research and are interested in Lake Underhill, Wewika Springs, Eagles Roost and Magnolia parks. Is there any mosquito problem in November and any opinions on the above parks? We also researched Central Florida Zoo and Wild Florida Drive Thru Safari Park, Any opinions are welcome. Thank you. Aloha, Noreen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando Vic Posted June 20, 2021 #2 Share Posted June 20, 2021 There should be minimal (if any) problem with mosquitoes in November. Another good park to check out is Blue Spring (no “s”) State Park in nearby Orange City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjduck Posted June 20, 2021 Author #3 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Thanks very much, Orlando Vic. Blue Spring sounds perfect for us (esp. Pine Island Trail). Appreciate your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate your help. jjduck, worked in Orlando and lived in Deltona, right next to Orange City and never had a mosquito problem. Blue Spring Park is a hidden gem in central Florida. Have you looked at the activities you can do there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whataboutport Posted June 26, 2021 #6 Share Posted June 26, 2021 I'm extremely allergic to mosquitos and I've had bad luck with mosquitos during all seasons in Fl and surrounding areas. Just bring some repellant just in case. I always think I'm not going to get bit this time and I get bit and I'm miserable. My bites swell up to the size of a half dollar or bigger and are super painful and itchy and last for weeks then leave scarring. But I still love tropical areas.
