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 Nature Coast Tract is separated into two sections comprising about 417 acres in Gilchrist County east of the Suwannee River and on the northern boundaries of Fanning Springs. The north section, located on the south side of the Nature Coast State Trail, and the south section that is accessed via Canal Street in Fanning Springs.

Neither section of the Tract has any public improvements - just dirt forest roads and hiking trails. ATVs are not permitted on the trails. The south section of the Nature Coast Tract is part of the Log Landing Wildlife Mangement Area, and hunting is permitted during some times of the year. Be sure to check local regulations and hunting seasons before your visit. The northern Lasky Tract portion is administered by the Suwannee River WMD. Activities & Facilities
