Managed in cooperation with Suwannee River Water Management District Florida Division of Forestry

Edwin McCook/SRWMD Holton Creek WMA is located in south central Hamilton County. This land was acquired under the Save Our Rivers program to protect limestone outcrops and lush seepage slopes along 10 winding miles of the Upper Suwannee River. More than 2,000 acres of river bluff hardwoods and pine plantations contain two first-magnitude springs that flow into the Suwannee River. Horseback riding, bicycling, hiking, wildlife viewing, and fishing are allowed.  Wildlife on the area include wild turkey, white-tailed deer, gray squirrel, eastern cottontail rabbit, gopher tortoise, raccoon, American alligator, and red-tailed hawk. The Florida Trail winds along the riverfront for many miles. Mobility-impaired general gun hunts are held on the area in the fall, and mobility-impaired turkey hunts are held on the area in the spring. This area is a site on the Great Florida Birding Trail.
