Lying along the winding path of the Suwannee River in northeast Dixie County, the Log Landing Wildlife Management Area (WMA) is a hidden gem for seasoned hunters, dedicated birdwatchers and hikers or bikers looking for a special way to experience Florida's Nature Coast. Management of the area is a joint venture between the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and the Suwannee River Water Management District. There are very few public conveniences or facilities within the area.

The Log Landing WMA actually spans nine individual disconnected tracts along the river - some of which are in Gilchrist and Lafayette Counties as well as Dixie County. We have also including information on this website about the Tracts in Gilchrest and Lafayette Counties because of their close proximity - and because several of them offer more public facilities than those in Dixie County.

The Log Landing Tract of the Log Landing WMA, which is about 1167 acres, is located along the west bank of the Suwannee River about 8 miles north of US98 near Old Town. It is accessible via Log Landing Road (NE 709th Avenue) off of State Road 349.

There is no public access to the river in this Tract, except by hiking along trails within the WMA. Small parking areas with pass through gates for hikers can be found along the road. The area is composed of a number of ecosystems, including floodplain swamp, upland forest, sandhill, and bottomland forest. It is open to the public year round during daylight hours. Motorized vehicles are prohibited on the trails. Hunting is permitted in the WMA. So be sure to check local regulations and hunting seasons before your visit. Activities & Facilities
