"Recreational
activities are everywhere in Wakulla."
 | Hiking trails can be found at the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge, Tallahassee-St.
Marks Historic Railroad State Trail, Wakulla Springs State
Park, Bradwell Bay National Wilderness Area, the Florida Trail, Ochlockonee River State Park, and some segments of the proposed
Gopher, Frog & Alligator Rail Trail. |
| Canoe or kayak the Sopchoppy River or the
Wakulla River. |
| Bicycling is popular all these sites as
well, but most especially along the Tallahassee-St. Marks
Historic Railroad Trail and St. Marks National Wildlife
Refuge. |
| Camping is available in many areas of the Apalachicola National Forest. |
| Anglers can fish the fresh river waters
for bass and bream. Coastal waters provide ample opportunities to catch trout and redfish
in season. |
| Birdwatching is
rewarding in Wakulla County. During the fall and spring migration periods, an
accomplished birder can spot as many as 140 species in a day. Canoeing, hiking or
birdwatching in Wakulla provide a great opportunity to see ospreys,
eagles, woodstorks, ibises, herons, egrets, alligators, deer, bears, raccoons, and otters.
|
| Wildlife viewing is
outstanding. If you are lucky, you might even glimpse an elusive wild turkey in the
flatwoods or an endangered West Indian Manatee in one of the
rivers.
