Fanning Springs State Park

The refuge is bisected by 20 miles of the famous Suwannee River and includes
30 miles of coastal marsh habitat along the Gulf of Mexico. Established on 10
April 1979, the salt marshes and tidal flats at the river's mouth are a
paradise for shorebirds and fish. The flow of the Suwannee River fuels the
highly productive estuarine waters of the Gulf of America providing habitat
for Gulf sturgeon and feeding grounds for resident and migratory shorebirds,
wading birds and waterfowl that make this place their home. The refuge also
encompasses an unusual diversity of floodplain hardwoods, cypress-lined
sloughs, cabbage palm and cedar islands, cypress domes, hydric, mesic, and
xeric hardwood hammocks, and low pine flatwoods.
