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. The WMA actually spans nine individual disconnected tracts along the river - some of which are in Gilchrist and Lafayette Counties as well as Dixie County. 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 Guaranto Tract of the Log Landing WMA covers about 320 acres. The public entrance is located about 2 miles east of State Road 349 along NE 816th Avenue, north of Old Town in Dixie County.

Although it lies just to the west of the Suwannee River, the Tract does not extend to the riverbank - so there is no river access for boating. However, at the east end of NE 816th Avenue you will find Gornto Springs Park (sometimes referred to as Guaranto Springs), which does include a boat ramp and fishing pier.

There is a rough unpaved parking area along NE 816th Avenue where hikers, Off-road bicyclists and horseback riders may access the Guaranto Tract. 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
