The Aucilla Wildlife Management Area offers abundant days in the fall
for hunting deer and feral hog. The nearly two-month small game season
in the winter usually yields excellent results. Canoeing or kayaking
on the Wacissa or hiking on the Aucilla sinks trail is generally best
in the spring, winter, and fall when temperatures are pleasant and bugs
less abundant. In the spring, the hardwood hammock islands along the
Wacissa are covered with zephyr lilies and wild irises. Even in the
summer, paddling on the Wacissa is enjoyable as one may cool off in
one of the abundant springs that feed the river. In the fall, enjoy
the colorful foliage of the sweetgums and red maples and the songs of
migratory warblers along the Aucilla Sinks Trail.
