Turkey Hunt Blackwater Springs – 507 Acres of Pure North Florida

Welcome to Blackwater Springs, a 507-acre hidden gem in the heart of North Florida’s wild turkey country. This is the kind of place serious hunters dream about.

Gently rolling hills stretch across the property, where two flowing tributaries of the Suwannee River converge at a private natural spring on site creating year-round water, prime roosting corridors, and ideal strut zones.

Habitat Built for Gobblers

307 acres of open pasture dotted with mature, scattered oaks perfect for glassing longbeards at first light.

100 acres of natural rolling scrubland providing thick cover and nesting habitat.

100 acres of 8-year-old longleaf pine classic turkey terrain with clean understory and excellent visibility.

This property is thriving with healthy hybrid turkey populations, supported by a diverse and balanced habitat that checks every box for feeding, roosting, and travel.

What truly sets Blackwater Springs apart is its eastern boundary: the vast wilderness of San Pedro Bay. With nearly 500,000 acres of uninhabited timberland, it’s the largest continuous stretch of wild land in Florida untouched by development. That means low hunting pressure, strong genetics, and birds that live the way they’re supposed to wild.

The Experience

Wake up to gobbles echoing through the hardwoods. Watch birds pitch down into open pasture. Work a tom along a spring-fed creek bottom. This is classic North Florida turkey hunting at its finest.
