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 Sunnyvale Tract, occupying about 526 acres along the west bank of the Suwannee River south of Old Town, is also referred to in some references as the Yellowjacket Conservation Area. This is probably because there is an RV park and boat landing with that name just south of the Tract.

Access to the Sunnyvale Tract can be found along Highway 349 south of Old Town via Eagle Landing Road, or by going east on SE 360th Avenue toward the river. Several unpaved roads provide access to the interior of the Tract - but none extend to the Suwannee River for boat access. Note that motorized vehicles, including ATVs are not allowed.

Hunting is permitted in the WMA. So be sure to check local regulations and hunting seasons before your visit. Activities & Facilities
