This area is part of the St Johns River and is implemented to reduce flooding and restore and maintain natural hydrologic cycles and protect water quality. It will also reduce freshwater diversions to the Indian River Lagoon estuary and enhance native habitat for fish and wildlife. Blue Cypress Lake and Kenansville Lake are located on the western portion of the area.
This area is an excellent viewing location for the endangered snail kite. Wetland and marsh dependent species found here include great Blue Herons, White Ibis, Snowy Egrets, Limpkins, and Night Herons. Other species include Wood Storks, Ospreys, and Bald Eagles. This area is also a great location for Florida Alligator Tours by Airboat!
