Jennings Forest WMA is located in northwest Clay County, near the town of
Middleburg. These more than 20,000 acres protect the headwaters of Black
Creek and contain excellent examples of sandhills and seepage slopes.
Hunting, fishing, wildlife viewing, primitive camping, hiking, horseback
riding, bicycling and canoeing are allowed, and there are four canoe
launch sites. Animals that make their home here include the
green
tree frog,
gray
fox, hawks,
white-tailed
deer,
turkey,
eastern cottontail,
northern
bobwhite quail, and pine warbler and other songbirds. Along the Black
Creek are raccoon,
otter,
alligator, and wading birds. This area is a
site on the
Great Florida Birding Trail. For additional information, a
recreation guide is available from the St. Johns River Water Management
District.
