The northern portion of KICCO Wildlife Management Area (WMA) will be closed to hunting this season due to ongoing construction. The South Florida Water Management District has requested the closure over safety concerns while a water-control structure and levee are being built.
Hunters should know that the closed portion of KICCO encompasses the entire area between River Ranch Boulevard, the Kissimmee River and State Road 60. The closed portion is marked on the KICCO WMA map as “open during the general gun hog hunt season only,” but contrary to information on the map, this portion is closed until further notice.
The northern portion of the WMA will reopen when construction and restoration efforts are complete. Because of ongoing restoration planning, it is not known when the affected area will reopen to hunters.
