This area, 20 miles east of Orlando and 10 miles west of Titusville, is bounded on the east by the St. Johns River and on the south by SR 50. The area is a mosaic of open pastures, river marsh, hardwood, and cabbage palm hammocks. Seminole Ranch Conservation Area is part of the Great Florida Birding Trail. A diversity of migratory and resident wading birds and waterfowl are frequently found here, and occasionally, roseate spoonbills, white pelicans, bald eagles, and sandhill cranes are present. Migratory songbirds in season, painted buntings, and turkeys are present in the hammocks. Recreational activities include hunting, fishing, wildlife viewing, horseback riding, hiking, primitive camping, paddling, boating, bicycling, and picnicking. On the area are 4.3 miles of the Florida National Scenic Trail. White-tailed deer, turkey, and small game hunting are good on this area. Camping is permitted only at the designated through-trail campsites along the Florida Trail for hikers accessing the area by means of the Florida National Scenic Trail. Horses are prohibited during hunting seasons. Trails on the area are seasonally flooded.
