"It was not unlike sections of the West although much wetter….and it was here that the Florida cowman hunted, penned, branded and drove his cattle." ---Joe Akerman, Jr., Florida Cowman |
Adjacent to the small town of Holopaw in Osceola County, the 16,295-acre Triple N Ranch Wildlife Management Area is an excellent example of fast-disappearing native range and pine-palmetto flatwoods scattered with wet and dry prairie, cypress domes, oak hammocks, and oak scrub.
Scenic Crabgrass Creek, a tributary of the St. Johns River, snakes across the area. On Triple N Ranch limited hunting increases your chances of harvesting a trophy deer or Osceola turkey. A network of well-maintained and marked roads provides ample opportunities for hiking, wildlife viewing, biking, and horseback riding. |
