KICCO Wildlife Management Area, which is pronounced kiss-oh, is a place where you can get the real feel of “Old Florida.” In this region you will enjoy a rich patchwork of habitat extremes from scrub to marsh.

Experience the natural beauty of this area by camping at any of the five primitive campsites, bicycling a ten-mile dirt road, hiking 11 miles of the Florida National Scenic Trail, or riding your own horse. Remember your fishing pole. Bass lurk in the waters of the C-38 Canal and the oxbows of the Old Kissimmee River.

Blanket Bay Slough offers primitive waterfront camping on the east side of the river. There are no trails on Blanket Bay Slough, as it is mainly marsh, however during the dry season from November through March, you can hike along the river and take in a refreshing view of the water.

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.
