Endangered Populations
A small, endangered population of Wood Storks makes its home in the swampy woodlands of the area, one of only three places in North America where they appear. Florence County is also known to be home to endangered species such as bald eagles, red-cockaded woodpeckers, star-nosed moles, and pickerel frogs, as well as the stately bald cypress tree.
Ecotourism
Ecotourism draws visitors to the Lake City area every year, with hiking, canoeing and kayaking along local waters a sure way to spot birds, insects and animals difficult to find elsewhere.
