Lower Suwannee National Wildlife Refuge (North)
The north side of this 53,000-acre national wildlife refuge lies in Dixie County and has several recommended stops for birding and wildlife viewing. Shired Island Beach trails lead you through coastal hammocks, past mudflats and open beach. Dixie Mainline (B, C) is a 9-mile, unpaved road through pine flatwoods, bottomland hardwoods and marsh. Fishbone Creek (D), accessed from CR 357, has an observation platform with a vantage of salt marsh, plus a small boat launch on the creek. Salt Creek (E) has an ADA-accessible boardwalk to the salt marsh where Bald Eagles frequently nest.
