Small game hunters have a new hunting
opportunity in Marion County this season called the Marshall
Swamp Public Small Game Hunting Area. This is a cooperative
effort of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission
and the Department of Environmental Protection’s Office of
Greenways and Trails.
The small game hunting area is located east of
Maricamp Road, at the eastern end of Midway Road about six miles
south of Ocala. Legal to hunt are wild hog, gray squirrel,
quail, rabbit and certain migratory game birds in season.
The small game season is Nov. 8 through March 1;
migratory bird season varies with the species, but the first
phase of dove season is under way now through Oct. 27. For
specifics on seasons, hunting times, bag limits, access and
more, visit
MyFWC.com/hunting/wma/2008-09/Northeast/MarshallSwamp.pdf.

Marshall Swamp is open to foot traffic all year.
Vehicles are allowed only in designated parking areas.
