Santa Fe Swamp WEA is a floodplain swamp that feeds the upper eight miles
of the Santa Fe River. Its critical importance in protecting and
maintaining both the quantity and quality of water in the Santa Fe Lake
and Santa Fe River led to the acquisition of this area. Most of the
5,627 acres in the Wildlife and Environmental Area are dense swamps.
Only primitive weapons (bow and arrow and muzzleloader) hunting of
white-tailed
deer,
feral hog,
turkey,
gray squirrel, and
eastern cottontail rabbit is
allowed on this area during specified seasons. Fishing, wildlife
viewing, horseback riding, hiking,
and bicycling are permitted throughout the
year. Camping is prohibited on the area.
