About
This property is adjacent to the 6,302-acre Dunns Creek State Park, which was named for John Dunn, an attorney and coffee planter who received a grant in 1765 that allowed him to farm an area between the two lakes in Putnam County. One of the special highlights of this property is its trails and interior roads that allow visitors to traverse in and out of mesic flatwoods, hammocks, and one portion uses an old logging tram road that goes through the heart of Long Swamp that runs the length of Dunns Creek Conservation Area. In the swamp there are still a couple of large cypress trees the can been seen from the tram indicative of sizes that were logged in the early 1900s.
Hiking, biking, horseback riding, fishing and wildlife viewing are available but restricted during hunt dates. Primitive camping is available. Boating and canoeing opportunities are available on Dunns Creek, but there are no launches located on this property. This is a geocache site.
