Mallory Swamp WMA

Managed in cooperation with
Suwannee River Water Management District

Mallory Swamp WMA includes more than 29,000 acres in southeastern Lafayette County, southwest of Branford. The cypress swamps, titi swamp, peat bogs and uplands are recovering from a severe wildfire that swept through the area in 2001. This fire, in combination with restoration of natural water levels, should result in accelerated recovery of the area's native vegetation. Recreational opportunities include hunting, fishing, wildlife viewing, horseback riding, hiking, and biking. Wildlife on the area include white-tailed deer, feral hogs, turkey, limpkins, wood storks, and great blue herons . Within the area are nearly 100 miles of grassy roads.  Children under the age of 16 are required to wear a helmet when horseback riding on public lands.  For more detailed information go to Nicole's Law .  All horseback riders must have proof of current negative Coggins Test results for their horses when on state lands. Camping is prohibited on the area.
