Orange Hammock WMA is a mix of pine flatwoods, oak hammock and freshwater wetlands—great for birding, alligator shots, marsh reflections and intimate woodland compositions. Visit dry season (Nov–Apr) for clearer trails and active shorebirds; sunrise/sunset offers warm side-light and dramatic skies. Expect basic unpaved parking at trailheads and no entrance fee but check Florida Fish & Wildlife rules (hunting seasons may restrict access). Mosquitoes can be heavy in summer; bring bug spray and w/b
