Talquin WMA consists of more than 3,000 acres and is one of nine
major tracts in the nearly 17,000-acre Lake Talquin State
Forest. Four miles west of Tallahassee, the wildlife management
area is bordered to the north by the Ochlockonee River and Lake
Talquin. Most of the area is dominated by pinelands, although
outstanding examples of slope and ravine forests are found on
the western portion of the tract. The area is popular with
squirrel and deer hunters. Service roads are available for
horseback riding, biking, hiking and wildlife viewing. Wildlife
on the area includes
red-shouldered hawks,
bobcats,
gopher tortoise,
coyotes,
osprey,
wild
turkey, and
bald eagles. This area is a site on the
Great
Florida Birding Trail. Camping is prohibited. |
