Camp Blanding WMA contains more than 56,000 acres and is located in western Clay County, east of Starke. The northern half of the area is planted pine plantations with remnant mature pines that support red-cockaded woodpeckers. Bottomland hardwood forests occur along the headwaters of Black Creek. The southern half of the area includes several thousand acres of sandhills, with plentiful white-tailed deer and turkey. A center section is always closed because of military operations, and at times the entire wildlife management area is closed due to security concerns. When the area is open, hunting, wildlife viewing, and hiking are allowed. Contact FWC's Lake City Regional Office at (386) 758-0525 for current status of the area.
