Little River Wildlife Management Area

Managed in cooperation with the Suwannee River Water Management District.

Little River Wildlife Management Area lies along the Middle Suwannee in southwest Suwannee County, north of Branford. This quiet area consists of more than 2,000 acres. Numerous springs along this portion of the Suwannee contribute to the river's flow. You can view a map of the Middle Suwannee basin on the Suwannee River Water Management District's website.

Hunting

This area has become very popular for high quality deer hunts. Those hunting during the muzzleloading season have an excellent opportunity to bag a trophy deer.
