SUWANNEE RIVER RANCH
We are committed to breeding and conserving animals that have disappeared in other parts of the world.
The ranch terrain is varied and ranges from old river bottom with its majestic fern and moss covered oaks, to palmetto scrub, oak and pine scrub, as well as sink holes, fissures and rifts.
The natural assets of this part of north Florida are astounding. For water lovers there is the river and its many springs, caves and tributaries making the area popular with boaters, tubers, canoers, kaiyakers, scuba divers and snorkelers, and of course fishermen. It is a birder’s paradise, and Cedar Key is only 25 miles away in the Gulf of Mexico. Naturalists can be nearly overwhelmed with the abundance of animal, plant, aquatic, reptilian, avian and insect life here in the north Florida woods and waterways. Notable to naturalists is Paynes Prairie just south of Gainesville on Interstate 75.
