Kissimmee River Public Use Area: Turkey Hammock

Take in the beauty of picturesque flowering marsh plants. Pink marsh mallow “hibiscus,” purple pickerel weed, yellow primrose, creamy water hemlock and button-bush flowers are on display. The property also features a boat ramp, surrounded by grandfather oaks, a cypress dome and cabbage palms.

At Cornwell Marsh, split by the Kissimmee River, you will find canoe and kayak access at the 4E’s non-motorized boat ramp and airboat launch off US 98.

The 4E’s entrance and Fort Basinger have been designated by the District as stargazing sites. Amateur astronomers can gaze at the natural wonders of the night sky from these sites far from bright urban areas.

Hunting is managed by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. Visit myfwc.com for hunting dates, regulations and detailed license information.

For more information, please call the District Recreation Hotline at 866-433-6312 or email recreation@sfwmd.gov.
