A vast expanse of land dedicated to Florida’s unique wetlands and the wildlife that lives in this environment. While the primary purpose of this refuge is for the stewardship of a natural environment, there are ample options for humans to view and partake in it, too, via hiking, biking, fishing, hunting and other activities however facilities in the Lower Suwannee are quite limited. This is a beautiful yet rugged place and to fully enjoy it, one should both plan for one’s visit and also, beyond pragmatic planning, learn all one can about the animals and environment concerned. Unlike State Parks, there is not much in the way of on-site education, so reading at least a little about the environment and regional history is very useful. I would recommend the book«Ecosystems of Florida» as well as anything on the history of the area. The Refuge’s own website offers some good publications on the Refuge here:

The 53,000 acre Lower Suwannee National Wildlife Refuge was established in 1979 to protect one of the largest undeveloped river-delta estuarine systems in the United States. The constant influx of nutrients from the river combined with numerous off-shore islands and tidal creeks create excellent wildlife habitat. Swallow-tailed kites, bald eagles, West Indian manatees, Gulf sturgeon, whitetailed deer, and eastern wild turkeys are but a few of the wildlife species that inhabit the Refuge. Natural salt marshes, tidal flats, bottomland hardwood swamps, and pine forests provide habitat for thousands of creatures — both large and small. This park has almost everything including hiking, biking, auto tours, boardwalks, observation towers, fishing, hunting, boating and camping is available near by. Just be careful of biting insects in the summer time.
