Erosion, Merrill Park Erosion on the Little Wekiva River at Merrill Park Merrill Park in Altamonte Springs is located on Jamestown Road between State Road 434 and Montgomery Road. The park's ballfields back onto the Little Wekiva River at one of the few points on this stretch of the river that is publicly accessible. In this area homes are built adjacent to the river with no buffers, and storm drains from nearby streets discharge directly into the river.
Erosion is a serious problem here.
Note the exposed roots on the tree on the right and the deep ravine resulting from erosion of the river banks.
