Fauna

The wetlands within Okaloacoochee Slough WMA provide habitat for birds such as wood stork, glossy ibis, Florida sandhill crane, egrets, and herons.[2] Eastern indigo snakes, bobcats, and various warblers dwell within the pine uplands here. The crested caracara and swallow-tailed kite can often be seen flying over wet prairies.[1] The property is classified as a dispersal zone for the endangered Florida panther.[3]

Recreational Activities

Sizable populations of white-tailed deer, feral hog, wild turkey, and small game attract hunters to Okaloacoochee Slough WMA.[4] Wildlife viewing on this Great Florida Birding and Wildlife Trail site is popular year-round, with many specialty birds found on the property.[4] Over 40 miles of unpaved roads are used by hikers, horseback riders, and bicyclists. Camping is permitted at two primitive campsites.[5]
