Nestled between the Ocklawaha and St. Johns rivers is the 26,422-acre Caravelle Ranch Wildlife Management Area with hardwood river swamps, pine flatwoods, and improved pastures punctuated with small depression ponds and hardwood hammocks. On Caravelle you can participate in special opportunity dove hunts and supervised youth small game hunts, as well as quota hunts for deer and feral hog. Horses are welcome, and ample space is available for parking trailers. Fishing is excellent on Camp Branch Creek, and opportunities abound for birders, especially in the spring when as many as 15 swallow-tailed kites may be observed circling the pastures.
Managing Agency:
The St. Johns River Water Management District and the Department of Environmental Protection, Office of Greenways and Trails, administer portions of the area.
