Additional Information for San Felasco Hammock Preserve State Park
Plant Life
At least 18 biological communities exist in San Felasco Hammock, included among those are sandhill, hydric hammock, Upland pine and swamp. Rare and unusual plants can be found along the slopes of the ravines and sinkholes. Several champion trees can be found within the park.
Wildlife
The park provides conditions favorable to wildlife such as bobcat, white-tailed deer, gray fox, and turkey. Migrating waterfowl make use of wetlands and ponds. Endangered and threatened species are found in the preserve.
Resources
This 6,900-acre preserve has one of the finest examples of the climax mesic hammocks remaining in Florida. The limestone outcrops and extreme changes in elevation provide conditions for many species of hardwood trees. Sinkholes, steephead springs, ponds, and small lakes dot the landscape. Blues Creek, Turkey Creek, and Cellon Creek all enter San Felasco from outside the park boundary and flow through the park, finally dropping into swallows, which drain back into the aquifer.
