Troy Springs WMA lies along more than 4 miles of the Middle Suwannee River
in east Lafayette County. Three parcels of land, of
primarily floodplain forests, comprise its nearly 2,000 acres. Troy Springs State
Park and a county park are nestled in between the wildlife management
area tracts. Nearby Troy Springs issues more than 65 million gallons of
water each day. Troy Springs WMA is a small game hunting area. Hiking, biking, wildlife viewing, and horseback
riding are permitted on the many trails. Species on this area include
white-tailed
deer,
turkeys,
eastern cottontail rabbits,
gray squirrels,
feral hogs,
gopher
tortoises, neo-tropical migrants and
red-shouldered hawks.
Fishing, canoeing, and boating opportunities are ample on the Suwannee
River. Two canoe launches and a boat ramp are adjacent to the management
area.
