Salt marshes on the Gulf of Mexico give way to a succession of swamps, hardwood forests, pine flatwoods and scrub, providing splendid opportunities for nature study and wildlife observation.The scrub is dominated by species such as sand live oak, myrtle oak and Chapman's oak, along with rusty lyonia and saw palmetto. Hikers and off-road bicyclists who want to experience a mosaic of Florida habitats will find it on the miles of trails that wind through the park. The shallow waters and numerous creeks near the salt marshes are ideal for canoeing and kayaking. Rental canoes and kayaks are available in the city of Cedar Key.ExperiencesBicyclingThe reserve utilizes existing jeep trails for multi-use trails and firebreaks, totaling about four miles on the east portion and eight miles on the western portion. These trails are primarily used for hiking, but are also available for off-road bicycle riding. The trails on the eastern portion are mostly sugar-sand so we recommend riding on the western portion where the ground allows for better traction. The trailhead of the western portion is located on CR347 which runs between Cedar Key and Fowlers Bluff.Helmets are highly recommended for all cyclists and Florida law requires helmets for cyclists age 16 and under.BirdingThe diverse habitats of the reserve provide opportunities for nature study and wildlife observation. The Reserve is an important stop-over for migratory birds and is home to the Florida Scrub Jay, Bald Eagle and other birds.PaddlingThe shallow waters and numerous creeks of Cedar Key Scrub State Reserve's salt marsh provide excellent opportunities for canoeing and kayaking.  Rental canoes and kayaks are available in nearby Cedar Key.  There is no launch within the Reserve.  We recommend using the boat ramp located behind the FWC Senator George Kirkpatrick Marine Laboratory, off SR 24 at the entrance to Cedar Key, to access the reserve's waters.FishingSaltwater fishing is popular in the adjacent waters.

						<p style="text-align: justify;">Salt marshes on the Gulf of Mexico give way to a succession of swamps, hardwood forests, pine flatwoods and scrub, providing splendid opportunities for nature study and wildlife observation.The scrub is dominated by species such as sand live oak, myrtle oak and Chapman's oak, along with rusty lyonia and saw palmetto. Hikers and off-road bicyclists who want to experience a mosaic of Florida habitats will find it on the miles of trails that wind through the park. The shallow waters and numerous creeks near the salt marshes are ideal for canoeing and kayaking. Rental canoes and kayaks are available in the city of Cedar Key.ExperiencesBicyclingThe reserve utilizes existing jeep trails for multi-use trails and firebreaks, totaling about four miles on the east portion and eight miles on the western portion. These trails are primarily used for hiking, but are also available for off-road bicycle riding. The trails on the eastern portion are mostly sugar-sand so we recommend riding on the western portion where the ground allows for better traction. The trailhead of the western portion is located on CR347 which runs between Cedar Key and Fowlers Bluff.Helmets are highly recommended for all cyclists and Florida law requires helmets for cyclists age 16 and under.BirdingThe diverse habitats of the reserve provide opportunities for nature study and wildlife observation.

						<p style="text-align: justify;">Salt marshes on the Gulf of Mexico give way to a succession of swamps, hardwood forests, pine flatwoods and scrub, providing splendid opportunities for nature study and wildlife observation.The scrub is dominated by species such as sand live oak, myrtle oak and Chapman's oak, along with rusty lyonia and saw palmetto. Hikers and off-road bicyclists who want to experience a mosaic of Florida habitats will find it on the miles of trails that wind through the park. The shallow waters and numerous creeks near the salt marshes are ideal for canoeing and kayaking. Rental canoes and kayaks are available in the city of Cedar Key.ExperiencesBicyclingThe reserve utilizes existing jeep trails for multi-use trails and firebreaks, totaling about four miles on the east portion and eight miles on the western portion.

						<p style="text-align: justify;">Salt marshes on the Gulf of Mexico give way to a succession of swamps, hardwood forests, pine flatwoods and scrub, providing splendid opportunities for nature study and wildlife observation.The scrub is dominated by species such as sand live oak, myrtle oak and Chapman's oak, along with rusty lyonia and saw palmetto. Hikers and off-road bicyclists who want to experience a mosaic of Florida habitats will find it on the miles of trails that wind through the park. The shallow waters and numerous creeks near the salt marshes are ideal for canoeing and kayaking. Rental canoes and kayaks are available in the city of Cedar Key.ExperiencesBicyclingThe reserve utilizes existing jeep trails for multi-use trails and firebreaks, totaling about four miles on the east portion and eight miles on the western portion.

Hikers and off-road bicyclists who want to experience a mosaic of Florida habitats will find it on the miles of trails that wind through the park. The shallow waters and numerous creeks near the salt marshes are ideal for canoeing and kayaking. Rental canoes and kayaks are available in the city of Cedar Key.ExperiencesBicyclingThe reserve utilizes existing jeep trails for multi-use trails and firebreaks, totaling about four miles on the east portion and eight miles on the western portion.

						<p style="text-align: justify;">Salt marshes on the Gulf of Mexico give way to a succession of swamps, hardwood forests, pine flatwoods and scrub, providing splendid opportunities for nature study and wildlife observation.The scrub is dominated by species such as sand live oak, myrtle oak and Chapman's oak, along with rusty lyonia and saw palmetto. Hikers and off-road bicyclists who want to experience a mosaic of Florida habitats will find it on the miles of trails that wind through the park. The shallow waters and numerous creeks near the salt marshes are ideal for canoeing and kayaking. Rental canoes and kayaks are available in the city of Cedar Key.ExperiencesBicyclingThe reserve utilizes existing jeep trails for multi-use trails and firebreaks, totaling about four miles on the east portion and eight miles on the western portion. These trails are primarily used for hiking, but are also available for off-road bicycle riding. The trails on the eastern portion are mostly sugar-sand so we recommend riding on the western portion where the ground allows for better traction. The trailhead of the western portion is located on CR347 which runs between Cedar Key and Fowlers Bluff.Helmets are highly recommended for all cyclists and Florida law requires helmets for cyclists age 16 and under.BirdingThe diverse habitats of the reserve provide opportunities for nature study and wildlife observation.

						<p style="text-align: justify;">Salt marshes on the Gulf of Mexico give way to a succession of swamps, hardwood forests, pine flatwoods and scrub, providing splendid opportunities for nature study and wildlife observation.The scrub is dominated by species such as sand live oak, myrtle oak and Chapman's oak, along with rusty lyonia and saw palmetto. Hikers and off-road bicyclists who want to experience a mosaic of Florida habitats will find it on the miles of trails that wind through the park. The shallow waters and numerous creeks near the salt marshes are ideal for canoeing and kayaking. Rental canoes and kayaks are available in the city of Cedar Key.ExperiencesBicyclingThe reserve utilizes existing jeep trails for multi-use trails and firebreaks, totaling about four miles on the east portion and eight miles on the western portion.
