Apalachee Wildlife Management Area
Located three miles north of Sneads along River Road you will find Apalachee Wildlife Management Area, 7,952 acres of public land that border Lake Seminole and the Chattahoochee River. Bird watchers delight in the many migratory species that pass through each year.
Florida Cavern State Park
The park and its land belong to the Great Florida Birding Trail, and is one of the most northern sites in the state. Visitors can spot birds more common further north, such as the winter wren, rusty blackbird, fox sparrow and dark-eyed junco. In spring and summer, the swallow-tailed and Mississippi kites and broad-winged hawks call the skies home.
