← FL SUWANNEE RIVER BRANFORD FLA Triple Blaze →

Description

The Orange Creek Restoration Area is located within the Orange Creek Basin, an area that has been hydrologically altered, with varying impacts to the water and natural resources, since the beginning of the 20th century. From the 1940s until the District purchased it in 1998, the land had been used for farming. Currently the property includes a combination of restored wetlands, timberlands, pastures, and wet prairies and other wetlands. Water from Orange Creek flows to the Ocklawaha River. Natural communities characteristic of the property include mesic flatwoods, floodplain swamp, floodplain marsh and depression marsh. There is three loop trails with connector trails between the loops.
