San Felasco Hammock

Enjoy North Florida's Unique Beauty!

Now at 7000 acres (with the newly acquired Fox Pond site), the San Felasco Hammock Preserve State Park stands as one of the finest examples of the climax mesic hammocks remaining in Florida. The Park is located to the northwest of Gainesville, in north Florida's Alachua County. The limestone outcrops and extreme changes in elevation provide conditions for at least 18 biological communities within the Hammock, including areas of sandhill, hydric hammock, upland pine and swamp. Thanks to the region's karst topography, 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.
