Mallory Swamp WMA includes more than 29,000 acres in southeastern Lafayette
County, southwest of Branford. The cypress swamps, titi swamp, peat bogs
and uplands are recovering from a severe wildfire that swept through the
area in 2001. This fire, in combination with restoration of natural
water levels, should result in accelerated recovery of the area's native
vegetation. Recreational opportunities include hunting, fishing,
wildlife viewing, horseback riding, hiking, and biking. Wildlife on the area
include
white-tailed
deer,
feral hogs,
turkey,
limpkins,
wood storks,
and great blue herons. Within the area are nearly 100 miles of grassy
roads. Camping is prohibited on the area.
