Middle Aucilla WMA lies along the Aucilla River at the intersection
of Jefferson, Taylor, and Madison counties. The area's 2,000 plus acres
were acquired to protect the Aucilla River watershed. Along
the river are floodplain forests and a mixture of pine flatwoods and
pine/hardwood forests. Numerous pre-historic archeological sites have
been found within the WMA. Waterfowl, songbirds, raptors, and shorebirds
are common. The Aucilla is a popular fishing spot for bream, catfish,
and largemouth bass. Hunting, fishing, wildlife viewing, horseback
riding, paddling, hiking, and biking are among the available
recreational opportunities. |
