Big Bend Wildlife Management Area - Tide Swamp Unit reviews
3Tide Swamp is a slice of natural Florida. It's what settlers would've seen when they arrived, and it still stands today. There's a 14 mile driving tour you can take through the entirety of the unit. In addition to that, there's 3 boat ramps with access to both Dallus Creek and the Gulf. It also has Hagan's Cove, which is an eBird Hotspot, with an observation tower and hiking trail through the marsh and flatwoods. The Big Bend WMA staff do an excellent job at maintenance and restoration of the natural area!
Little place to put in a smaller, motorized, watercraft or air boats. No wait, no lines because the water is too shallow for single or twin engine power boats great for kayakers or canoes as well.
Good boat ramp, but be careful of the huge gator that stays nearby! Don’t let your kids swim in the water
