Majestic live oaks line both sides of the hiking trail as you enter Hickory Hammock. Marshes, patches of scrub and oak, along with hickory and cabbage palm hammocks await exploration. With all of this diversity, it’s easy to see why Hickory Hammock is a stop along the Great Florida Birding Trail and the Everglades Trail.

The Istokpoga Canal Boat Ramp Area features boat ramps and an airboat ramp. It also has access to the Hickory Hammock trailhead with primitive camping and parking for equestrian trailers.

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